advice coping with dental treatment

[Racer2024]

I’m having some dental treatment including wisdom tooth extraction at the dental hospital. Should I up my current dose of 3.5mg of pred for a short period? And if so how long for?

Many thanks.

thank you for adding the link.

As I’m on 4mg now I think it’s suggested that I take an extra dose of 5mg an hour before surgery and a double dose 24hrs later. Then return to normal dose.
