TEETH !!!!
Posted , 16 users are following.
Hello All!!
Have any of you had more problems with your teeth, pain, cavities etc since taking pred??? Also why wouldn't my dentist like to open out a tooth to crown it while I'm taking 15mg of pred????
Many thanks
Andrea 😄

For routine dental work that doesn't involve surgery, your prednisone should have no effect.  Your dentist is probably being overly  cautious due to increased risk of infection while on prednisone.  As for alendronic acid, there is a very minimal risk of creating a condition called osteonecrosis of the jaw if surgical procedures are done.  Again, the risk is extremely low from oral bisphosphonates and only in cases of surgical procedures and not routine dentistry, like a crown or even a root canal.
