V quick question re dentist's

I've got a dental appointment tomorrow, and I reckon I need a filling-first one in twenty years.

I'm bf my 7 month old 5 or 6 times a day. Anyone know if the numbing injection they give you is safe when nursing? Don't fancy drilling without painkillers!

I'm sure I had a filling whilst bfing. No problems.

But I would bf just before the appointment, and try not to for a couple of hours afterwards.

Yes, I had a filling last month, BOTH pregnant and breastfeeding and the dentist said the injection was fine.
