    Hi all

    I?ve booked a visit to the dentist tomorrow, as one of my fillings split yesterday, and the tooth is quite painful.

    I had my SCT March 2012, and just prior to having it, I remember the Bart?s nurse telling me to get any dental treatment done prior to the SCT. What I didn?t ask her, was when is it okay to have dental work carried out post SCT.

    My local MM nurse isn?t around today, so can?t ask her.

    Does anyone know?

    Thanks

    Hi Terry

    As long as you don't have an extraction, I was told that there's no problem with just a filling, but you must tell your dentist of any drugs you're on, particularly biphosphonates. (eg Zometa).

    I'm sure the most painful bit for you will be the cost!

    I hope you get it sorted quickly and easily.

    Michele.

    Hi Terry

    I was told same all work is Ok bar an extraction, but am sure your dentist will know this make sure he knows what you are taking and what you have had done and leave it up to him to say Ok.

    Happy Filling
