It depends on the cavity. If it's deep then go for extraction or if it's not deep then tooth can be restored with a filling

You can definitely go ahead of your treatment.
I would recommend you to extract the teeth which is decayed first and go ahead for the rest next time .

Hello!
You can get it extracted which ever is hurting you the most, rest can be extracted later.
Medication should be prescribed accordingly (which is safe for nursing mother.)

There is no problem in getting wisdom tooth extraction done. They are just source of infection which might infect other teeth as well. So don’t wait till that extent and it’s absolutely safe to get it done for feeding mothers. Only few antibiotics like metrogyl should be avoided which your treating doctor will take care .

Hi,
There is no problem in extraction while breast feeding. You will be on antibiotics and pain killers. If you have no pain, then its advisable to stop breast feeding and then get the tooth extracted.

There is no problem in extraction.. but you will have to take drugs and you will feel very fatigued. So if there is no pain then you can wait for another 6 months and then go for extraction
