ttmmkk001, You were just diagnosed with MG. The risk of having an exacerbation or crisis before adequate treatment is higher.

Yes, having the tooth out and taking care of the bacteria are important things to do. But that doesn't necessarily mean that your MG will be magically better afterward. The infection may be making your MG worse, but your MG is making you worse.

Xylocaine tends to wear off more quickly after a procedure than Lidocaine. It might help reduce adverse reactions. Talk to your dentist about that. It doesn't take long at all for an extraction.

The risk of a newly diagnosed MG patient worsening is fairly high. Take as good care of yourself as you can. Sleep more than usual. Seek out care in the ER if you need to.

MG can become worse slowly and you may not realize how badly you are doing. It's best to be checked by a doctor with a clinical exam, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gas, etc.

I want to add that caution because you are newly diagnosed. I hope everything goes well.
