Dear mam, Augmentin or novamox are safe while breastfeeding. Use in cases of severe infection but not for mild one. If your dentist think you have severe infection then it's ok.
Otherwise do warm salt-water mouthwash and proper brushing.

Antibiotics aren't usually advised for breastfeeding mothers. Get a thorough cleaning and polishing done. Your gums will be fine within days.
