Experiences with

Dental treatment

Hi all Am due to have a tooth out, am seeing consultant in 10 days....my dentist refused to do treatment as on aspirin and hydroxycarmabide. Has anyone else had an extraction and if so did you stop taking aspirin beforehand. Many thanks..

Have had to postpone some dental treatment because couldn’t cope and had thought I was improving but am now scheduled for a heart ultrasound, and following a positive FIT test for a gastroscopy and am struggling to hold it together.

I know I need additional dental work that I've been putting off... until I read this: "Two Cases of Parkinson’s Disease for Which Treatment Was Effective" https://www.scirp.org/journal/paperinformation.aspx?

Endocarditis is a horrific thing and while the risk with dental treatment is low, it can happen. Take care.

I (82years old) have mastocytosis. One of my teeth has to be extracted. Has anybody had any experience with local anaesthetics and the necessary medication for the procedure? Is there a dentist in London who would treat under the circumstances, private or NHS. I am quite desperate and very grateful for

My age and lack of experience is against me so I decided to recover from the Dental Treatment and restart the job application process as from May 2023.

The dentist must recognize that these medications may interact with dental treatment. This article reviews the top 10 prescribed drugs as listed in the IMS Institute national prescription audit in January 2015 and reviews the interactions between these medications and dental treatment.

Want to stop taking Alendronic acid having some dental treatment hate side effects of this medication . How can I check I don’t have too much protein in my blood if I do. Am I at great risk of fractures if I stop. I am looking or advice.

in the summer I was informed that I would require some dental treatment, possibly an implant.

I am 78, male and take warfarin for atrial fibrillation. I have to have a wisdom tooth extracted and a gum deep clean because of gum disease. I will need to take warfarin as usual but am worried about the possibility of heavy and uncontrollable bleeding and also because the NHS dentist wants to perform

And I have a broken tooth but because my dentist just took everyone off their NHS list during covid (apparently my fault because I didn’t contact them) I can’t now get NHS dental treatment till January.. I absolutely cannot afford to go private. Obviously I don’t want any more fractures either!

Hi. I’m at high risk of endocarditis as I’ve had it before and have a mechanical valve. I’ve got a couple of dental appointments coming up and the dentist refuses to prescribe antibiotic cover, citing NICE guidelines. M gp is reluctant to prescribe too on the basis of the same guidelines. I don’t have

Around the same time, some dental treatment requiring 2 days of steroids resulted in an immediate 'cure'. Finally when I saw a rheumatologist in September and told him this, he diagnosed PMR - I'd never heard of it!

Was on the middle of some dental treatment and took 1 … 70mg tablets (weekly one) first of all pharmacist said they would ring me in a week to see how I was reacting to them which caused me to some concern( never done this before) then telling the dentist 3 days later that I was on some new med.

I was told to wait at least 9 months after coming off the bone drug, then get the blood test and once cleared, they could get a dental treatment plan together. I took the test about 4.5 months in, and the results were 84. I was told anything under 100 was too high risk still.

An updated patient information leaflet, ‘Anticoagulant or Antiplatelet Medication and Your Dental Treatment’ is also available for patients taking these drugs. This leaflet explains the importance of telling the dentist about the medication, and how dental treatment might be affected by the drugs.

On November 3rd I had a bit of dental treatment and the surgery smelled really good so I walked over to the diffuser and sniffed in.... I have been feeling crap with this Sinusitis ever since....Mmmmmm Trigger?

I had to agree to the Zoledronic acid but have to see the dentist first because apparently if I need dental treatment after the infusion, no dentist will go near me! It's this awful necrosis of the jaw which is a side effect.

I am new here so please do bear with me. I'm starting much needed dental as my teeth are crumbling & falling out. I've been on Lamictal since my first seizure in 2013 and now on 500mg (300am/200pm) Concerned about local used to freeze - There is data everywhere but only for GA. I'm having trouble
