I was doing research online and read some drs do not recommend it because we take immunosuppresants i take prednisone and plaquenil. I mentioned lupus to my dentist but i realized when i got home that i didnt specify which medication I take. Any tips advice ?
They put me to sleep for the extraction but not the implant. Placing the implant is really quick. I was super nervous and the surgeon was talking to me and I didn't even realize he had done it. I did have a bad headache after so I didn't eat anything. They told me to eat soft foods like mashed potatoes, pasta, eggs, soup and stuff for the next couple of days or so.
You might want to do some more research on this. If you do decide please make sure your not allergic to the metals and our bones are very fragile. ❤🙏
I had implants many years ago before I was diagnosed after a violent traumatising car accident. They have lasted regardless only thing is my gums are receeding badly now due to lupus and MCTD and they show alot of the implant origin. So I avoid smiling to big.
Ill eat pasta everyday lol. Thanks so much. You are helping me not be so nervous about it. Thank you Tasha @A MyLupusTeam Member
I did last year. I didn't have any problems. I had the tooth extracted first and then I had to wait about a couple of months and got the implant. It's not painful. You will be sore the day you get the implant and maybe the day after. The implant takes a little bit to get used to because it's weird having metal in your mouth. But then it's fine.
