Praise be to Allaah.
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (May Allaah have mercy on him)
was asked,
If a person suffers pain in his teeth and he goes to the
dentist who cleans them or does a filling or extracts one of his teeth, does
that affect his fast? If the dentist gives him an injection to anaesthetize
his tooth, does that affect his fast?
He answered:
The things mentioned in this question doe not have any effect
on the validity of the fast, rather that is allowed. But he has to be
careful not to swallow any medicine or blood. Similarly, the injection
mentioned does not affect the validity of the fast because it is not a kind
of food or drink, and the basic principle is that his fast is valid. (Ajwabah
Muhimmah tata’allaq bi Arkaan al-Islam).
If you can go to the dentist in the evening, this is
preferable.
And Allaah knows best.
