Hello folks,
Next week I am seeing my hospital dentist to examine the deterioration of some of my teeth. In the past couple of decades, two long surgical operations were done for extractions/fillings, under anesthesia.
You may wonder why---I have panic disorder and cannot have conventional dental work.
This time though, I have diabetes, but less teeth, heh!
I would like to ask you for any hints regarding anesthesia and diabetes. I have already seen my GP and shown her a paragraph regarding the use of Metformin with x-ray or surgery which may lead to lactic acidosis. She said to show it to the dentist and btw lactic acidosis happens with Metformin with other conditions. I have not had that fortunately.
I suppose my dental team is accustomed to diabetics, but i thought i would ask you if there is any information i should give other than the list of my medications.
Has anyone here been through something like this?
Thank you for reading.
