Dental treatment during Tuberculosis treatment?!


Question:

Dental treatment during Tuberculosis treatment?

I've been undergoing treatment for Abdominal Tuberculosis since past year. Is it okay if I get some dental treatment done now (like Fluoride treatment or root canal etc) while the TB treatment is still on? Will it cause any problem?

Thanks to the people who responded so far. I forgot to add that my GP has given a letter for the dentist, which says that I'm fit for dental treatment under any anesthesia. Does that mean I can get a root canal done too, if required or just some simple dental treatment?


Answers:

This would be a question for your doctor to answer as he knows what medications you are presently prescribed and if dental treatment would be advisable now, or if it should be postponed until a later date. Unless you are having dental problems (severe toothache which would require a root canal procedure) I would suggest you wait. Your dentist will be able to address any dental problems that you may have without any further complications. Hope I've been of some help and good luck with your treatment.

Additional information: If your GP gave the go ahead that you can have dental work, then you can receive any dental treatment that is needed, even a root canal if needed. Good luck!
