NJChick 3 Posted September 9, 2005 I wouldn't think you'd have to tell them, they are using a local anesthetic right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted September 9, 2005 Instead of telling the dentist, you might talk to your band surgeon and ask him if you should be on any kind of antibiotic when you go to the dentist for the first year after surgery. some surgeons like to do that, and your dentist still doesn't have to know.

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted September 9, 2005 I told my dentist simply because he's one of the physicians responsible for my health and each health care practitioner should know everything they are dealing with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted September 9, 2005 I've never mentioned it to my dentist, but would if there were anything more than local anaesthetic involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
