Dear Joellen,
I had major dental surgery a year after ATM,and there was
no problem, i had to tell the dental surgeon what drugs i was taken, and
because i am on warffren to thin my blood we had to wait for my count to
be low.
I was not put to sleep just because there might have been a problem, but
this was because of the blood problem,i know have a million pound smile
but its a pity the rest of me does not work:-)
its been three and a half years with ATM and i have had major surgery on
my right leg with no problem, untold innoculations for flu and tetanus.
If as you say you need to have the dental work done :-( then you will
have to run the very small risk of problems, but the risk of relapse is
very small,against the pain of not having the dental work done.I hope it
all goes well for you.
Regards Robert.....
