Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Debbie, You will want to have the dentist prescribe antibiotics that you will take on the day he works on your teeth. They usually give me Amoxicillan, and I take 2000mg before the appt and another 1000 that night. That way no gunk that's cooking in the gumline will get out alive.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Hi Debbie, it just takes a phone call to make sure... I had a tooth pulled on mtx without any special precautions, but drilling and all that maybe different, Call you dentist in the morning and check they sometimes put you on antibiotics as a precaution....

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Hey Debbie, Having spent a goodly part of this year dashing from dentist to dentist, the drug of choice seems to be Keflex. This is a broad spectrum antibiotic which targets microbracteriams that affects things like dental abcesses. I was on it for ages before and after wisdom teeth removals and all that stuff. Good luck. Love Aisha -- Dentist Hi all - I am going to the dentist to have a filling replaced this week. Since I am on Methotrexate, is there anything that i should be concerned about? Is it okay to get Dental work done on all of these medications? Debbie T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Hi group. I've been away for a while been a little ill again. Sometimes when I get this way I just withdraw. Well my neurologist gave me aricept to try to boost my memory but I think it started me to have diarrhea. But at the same time my rheumatologist increased my Imuran to 100 mg., so I'm not sure what is causing the diarrhea. I stopped the aricept almost 2 weeks ago but I am still having diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed lomotil for my diarrhea. I've been on it about 3 days with no results. I have lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks and I have an appointment tomorrow to see if they can find a solution. I still have an appetite and I am trying to eat and drink plenty of fluids, but this has me very frustrated. I was reading the emails about the dentist and it peeked my curiosity. I need some general dental work such as cleaning and maybe some cavities filled but I can't find a dentist who will touch me while I'm on the prednisone. Has anyone else had this problem? Well I hope everyone is doing well and as always I will keep you all in my prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
