****2nd request _ Re: Dentist question & my update on life****

[Guest guest]

**Does anyone know or remember the comments that were said a little back about

the dentist????**

As for the Endo doctor__yes they are giving a name of a new doctor from the

medical university__I just

don't know how new she is or her experience with Thyca. Maybe I can do a

consultation with her. If

anyone knows of any other doctor in the ton, SC area...I would love to

know. Also, are there

any thyca support groups in or around ton?

Seeking your help,

Janet

Re: Dentist question & my update on life

As per finding dr, I think your best bet is to call internal med

clinics at med schools. you can find some great dr that way, though

not all take new patients. can your old dr make a referral?

Apologies if this comes thru twice. Think I hit the wrong button the

1st time.

Hi Janet

I think that may have been me who said that you should mention it to

your dentist that you are/have been treated for thyca involving

RAI. I'm not sure to the reasoning as to why we should mention this

to our dentist I was just told by my Nuc Med Dr to avoid the dentist

and hairdressers for 3 weeks after ingesting the RAI. The only

thing I can think of is in relation to the dentist is that if you're

having fillings (cavities) they tend to give you a different type of

anaesthetic whilst your off meds.

Sorry I can't be of much help.
