Yes if it is necessa: Most of the time dentoits use penicillin or Amoxicillin and these are both safe to take if needed.

Depends on med: The short answer to the question is yes. However what is most essential is that you tell your doctor that you are breast feeding and they will make sure to give you the appropriate antibiotic for what they are trying to treat. There are many antibiotics that are safe to take while breastfeeding.
