ok for teeth extraction when kid on antibiotic?

[diamond]

dd7 is getting 2 baby teeth extracted tomorrow morning. the dentist mentioned he will give her laughing gas and novocaine. right now dd is taking amoxycillin liquid and she is almost 7. is it ok to do the novocaine/laughing gas when she is on antibiotics? also any food restrictions before going in?

With nitrous oxide, our dentist recommends no food/drink 2 hours prior (small sips of water are okay.)

thanks, anyone any insights with nitrous oxide and antibiotics? ty

Dentists will often pre-treat patients with underlying health conditions with antibiotics before dental procedures. I think it will be fine.

I think it will be perfectly fine, but I would mention it to both dentist and assistant before hand. (At appointment time.)

There are no interactions between her amoxicillin and either the nitrous oxide or novocaine. Agree with making sure the antibiotic dose is atleast 2-3 hrs before her appointment just to ensure if she gets nauseated and vomits, less risk of choking.
