Here is another problem regarding peripheral neuropathy and dental issues.
Be aware, any one that is on any immunosupressive meds for their neuropathy, say for example your condition is a combination of both autoimmune disorder and neuropathy:
If you need any invasive dental procedures or oral surgery , eighter by the oral surgeon or periodontist, you might not be able to have the procedure while you are on this med. But it is possible that the prescribing doctor, neurologist or rheumatologist, to tell you to hold the immunosupressive med such as steroid or other, for 2 weeks or so.
So always tell the Dental provider to check with the other prescribing doctor.
