Question 1

should i take triazolam if i am going to have dental surgery?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: If your physician and dentist recommend it and feel it's safe for you to take, triazolam may help calm you before the surgery.  You should have someone else drive you to and from the procedure, though.  Be well.

Question 2

is it safe to take prednisolone before receiving anesthesia for dental surgery?

Accepted Answer

Need More Info: I'm going to assume you're using this drug as an ICS (inhaled) for asthma or copd; forgive me if i'm mistaken. Other than the mild risk of an elevated blood sugar, the risk of not taking your rx is that your breathing symptoms may worsen. So, speak with your dentist for the final word!

Accepted Answer

Azithromycin i: Azithromycin is a good alternative if you can't tolerate those two.

Accepted Answer

Dental surgery: Hydrocodone is an addictive narcotic. It does not cause birth defects..Taking the drug for a short interval should not be a problem. However, check with your doctor. He may be of a different opinion.

Question 8

vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen) has been expired since 04 i just had dental surgery could i take it?

Question 9

is it ok to trust a dentist with oral surgery experience to take wisdom teeth out?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Every dentist has a different level of expertise, and if your current dentist feels s/he can treat you, then the choice is yours. I personally extract many wisdom teeth, but i also refer many out to local specialists when i feel the potential complications surpass my experience.
