Dental Work

[lfran]

Just wanted to put in my 2 cents that we always see a flare up when DS8 has dental work and/or is losing a tooth.

 

I have started asking for prophylactic antibiotics before even routine dental work now.

 

Biggest flare ever was after a tooth extraction with no abx. I talked with our dentist, and he says that for people with antibody issues, he even avoids the metal rings and latex that he uses to isolate the tooth during a filling, as that can cut into the gum and cause a problem.

 

Just thought I'd post this, for others to consider and to mention to your dentists.
