Tomorrow, I go for 2 wisdom teeth extractions. I'm feeling horridly anxious, but know its gonna be over quickly.. nitrous oxide/ laughing gas helps.
Plan to use an extra 5 mg of pred...up to 12 mg, since I'm just wrapping up a flare.
Send some good energy and any tips you might have to make this easier for me.
Love you guys...Jerri
It never as bad as you think it will be. Happy to have a dentist but not so happy to go. I go up on prednisone too, and no problems so far. Sending happy vibes! This will be over soon and you wont have to do it again!
Good Luck
Will be thinking of you
It will be over very quickly and usually not so bad as we think it will be

I didn't know to take extra Pred when I had extraction but was ok. However had problem with healing (on AA then) and had 2 lots of infection over 2 months even though using recommended mouthwash. I switched to saltwater which was much better.
So please just be watchful with the healing, and take it easy for a couple of days.
Hope all goes well, I'm sure it will. 🌷🍀
Best wishes

I had one wisdom tooth removed and had no pain or bleeding afterwards,l hope that you will be OK and it all heals up nicely xx.
Useful tips will flood in from those who know, but tons of good wishes flooding your way Purplecrow. 👍🌷🌷

And dont be tempted to drink through a straw. Especially one of the paper ones that just collapse anyway.
I had a wisdom tooth out a couple of years ago - it was far easier than the extractions I'd had before! Upper left wisdom tooth, single root but continuing to grow sideways as it was not opposed - was out in a flash!
I didn't take more pred, the socket was fine, didn't bleed much at all and all healed quickly.
I'd been worried about it being on pred and anticoagulant therapy - dentist wasn't, he was right. Hope yours goes as well.
Hope all goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery. ❤️
Thanks everyone for the support...i have always hated going to dentist, but never had a bad experience...today will most likely be fine also...fingers crossed! 🤞🏽
Hope everything went ok x
If your teeth are abcessed, getting them out could HELP your PMR.
My symptoms (3 1/2 months post-pred) have cleared up really well since having a molar with an abscess pulled April 1st.
Maybe a coincidence....
How are you doing now the teeth are out.
Take care , be careful brushing , you could use a soft brush for awhile.
Swill your mouth with Luke warm green tea after food , as it helps clean the mouth and reduce infection and drink it through the day.
Adding some Manuka honey to probiotic yoghurt will help cool the mouth , its antiviral and antibacterial and helps reduce the chance of fungal infections .
Hopefully you won't get an infection , but if you think you are get to the dentist quick to get antibiotics.
Hope your sockets are healing well too.
Have any issues just post again , I know lots of people have experience and good advice.
Keep well and get lots of rest if you need too , hugs , Bee xx
Thank you for the wise advice. I am doing quite well, no excessive bleeding and practically no pain. Just a ginormous hole in my mouth!
Feeling kinda droopy, but think thats all the injection drug and maybe the laughing gas🤪...however...it is over, and I am so grateful for everyone's support!
