I was just diagnosed with mild ataxia after falling., facial cuts.

I'm into 3 months past & much better.

I have to get teeth extracted, should I expect any problems ?

Much appreciated !

Thanks for taking THE TIME TO ANSWER !

Can't wait to get this done but then I'm a skinny little thing so doesn't take much for me to be afraid.

Much appreciated.

Sorry you’ve had to have teeth extracted, I’ve just had to put up with bruises but then I might have to resort to wearing a gum shield! X

The anxiety may affect you shortly beforehand but don't assume that!

I have had 6 teeth extracted, under general anesthesia, with no problems, from an endontist, oral surgeon. I told them before the extraction, that I have Cerebellar Ataxia, and Parkinson's Disease!
