Default Dental Work

I am wondering if there are concerns with dental work having RSD, such as tooth extraction, amalgam replacement, etc. I have had 2 root canals pre-RSD, not realizing how bad these are supposedly to your health, and I was told before I developed RSD that one of the root canals needed to be redone. I think it was still (and probably still is) infected. This has to be taxing my immune system. And I'd like my mercury fillings out.

Default RE: Dental work

Millerprof,

I had old fillings removed and had four teeth refilled. When the doctor first came in, I explained about my RSD and pain so that he would know in advance to be careful (although I could tell that he wasn't that familiar with what I was talking about).

He made sure to thoroughly deaden my gums before starting, and things went very smoothly . I also took the precaution of scheduling my appointment so that it would be time for pain medication not long after I got home.

No problems at all my friend.

Best regards,

EJ

Hi Millerproff,

When I had to have a filling replaced a couple of years ago it took me a long time to recover and for the pain to subside, I recall it took about 2 to 3 weeks for my nerves to calm down. Fortunately I haven't had to get anything major done yet. My dentist has agreed that we will only do work on my teeth when it is absolutely necessary. We keep my appointments as short as possible. I have to have my hygienic cleaning appointments done in sections so we alternate between the upper and lower teeth every other appointment. I always schedule them after my lidocaine treatments when I'm in top shape.

Good luck and take it slow.

MsL

If you go to RSDhope.org there is some info on dental work. Lots of Novocaine, short appts., etc.,

Take a look

I haven't had any dental work since developing RSD has I have just been too scared to get to the Dentist but on Thursday I have to go and get a filling on one of my back teeth. I then have to go back to the dentist about 2 weeks after that to have another filling on the other side of my mouth and a tooth extracted. My teeth were always in great condition, until I developed RSD. Since having RSD, my teeth have been chipping a lot and break very easily - my PM Doctor told me that this is because my body isn't producing enough Calcium and suggested I take Vitamin C and also the meds are probably causing the dental issues.

When I went to the Dentist, I printed a link about RSD and Dentistry which I found of the American RSD Hope Website (Debbie has provided the link). My Dentist very kindly read it and said that he would numb my mouth up more than in a normal patient as it suggested to do so in the Article and he would also give me something to prevent any inflammation.

I will let you know how the Dental work goes and if I have any side effects, additional pain etc.

All the best,
Alison
