Local anesthetic: Hi, I think you should be able to go back to breast feeding 24 hours after anesthesia if this is general anesthesia, if local it should be less than that. Good luck.

Sedation: Talk to your oral surgeon about this. The length of time depends on the sedation medication used but for most dental sedation it is necessary to pump and dump for only about 4 hours. This should be manageable for you and your baby. Good luck.
