Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Mojo, It's great to know there are some good doctors out there. I am having to have crowns put on my teeth and they had to do a lot of drilling etc. It irritated my gums quite a bit. I imagine that I can expect the same thing with the next ones. You're right about having to remember things like antibiotics etc. Up until I was diagnosed with Lupus I never took most medications and I didn't have any problems but obviously things are going to be different now and I definitely will have to adjust.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 No problem Carol, I just think you should call him a few days ahead of your scheduled visit and ask that he call it in for you. If he doesn't, then you should speak with your primary. Mojo Re:To Mojo re dentist > Mojo, It's great to know there are some good doctors out there.
