Experiences with

Dental treatment

I appreciate this may be trivial in the face of other posts on here but I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have. I take statins & Clopidogrel following a slight stroke 10 years ago. My dentists have advised I should keep taking both ahead of having 2 teeth out. They will apply stitches at the removal

Does anyone out there have experience of dental treatment and how it works under circumstances like this? Thank you 😊

I was unaware that this treatment comprises certain dental treatments, I know of extractions but uncertain if it applies to anything else. My problem is that I have a disintegrating tooth which has been patched but which the dentist said she can't do it again.

Currently waiting for dental treatment before the infusion.

I did see a lady on youtube whose son needed a lung transplant for GPA and he flared up after having dental treatment and he was on a ventilator and she though the dental treatment caused the GPA flare. Any advice would be appreciated.

I did think pausing the clopidogrel as I would for dental treatment/minor surgery would suffice?

I will be having cataract surgery 8 th September and I have a dental appointment 2 weeks later for a filling will that be OK or do I need to put dental treatment back.

Hello all. I have to have a back molar extracted tomorrow and apparently there is a non-emerged wisdom tooth underneath. I don't know if the dentist plans to remove the wisdom tooth or not. I think the molar will come out fairy easily (touch wood). Do you think I need to increase pred today? I am just

They are a big complication for dental treatment options, because of how they can cause bone death in the jaw, limiting the types of procedures that dentists can safely do. But my dentist is working around them. And we are coping. So yay!

I am currently tapering 6mg predisolone and taking 17 1/2mg Methotrexate . All is well and no problems. I am due to have a dental crown fitted. The dentist says it’s OK as he won’t be exposing the gum area where infection is possible. So I’m checking with you wonderful people that I can still take

Had dental treatment 2 weeks ago and can't tolerate hot or cold due to my teeth suddenly very sensitive. I don't suspect GCA, my teeth often respond like this to dental treatment.

I am due to get a pacemaker fitted on 26 June, I also have a dental appointment on 27 June for treatment - root canal and crown. Is this going to be okay or will I have to delay the dental treatment? Any advice folks???

Have heart murmur and need root canal treatment but have been told 6-8 month waiting on nhs but they will do privately can’t afford this do I have any other options

Is there any chance of dental treatment delaying the heart operation? Thanks

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.

Catherine's story highlights the possibilities and benefits of seeking dental treatment abroad for those facing high costs in their home country. It’s a testament to the quality of care available and the positive impact it can have on one’s life.

Anyone had experience of this, especially having dental treatment i.e. extractions?

Just has some dental treatment this week and thought I was doing okay after it but now feeling the effects. Why does dental treatment do that? I made sure to ensure I didn't have adrenal in local aneasthetic, checked I wasn't sensitive to the ingredients in the filling. Ah well.

How have others coped with dental treatment? It would be helpful to hear about others' experiences.
