Joellen,
I've had lots of dental work including dental surgery since being
diagnosed with TM. It never had any effect on the TM symptoms.
I am given antibiotics routinely before dental work because of
a very slight heart murmur, so I don't know if TM is also
an indication for antibiotics with dental work. It can't hurt
to ask your doctor.
Good luck.
Ellen
