Gum disease and surgery I am having bypass surgery and have severe gum disease in a part of my mouth have not gone to the dentist yet because i want to wait until after my surgery. Want to know will this affect my surgery in anyway? I know that dental pro

Answer 1

Second stage Implant: That depends upon how close to the surface the implant healing cap is. Sometimes it is already exposed and readily accessible, sometimes it is just at or below the surface and some minor exposure is needed and sometimes it is well below the surface and requires a minor surgical exposure. Nothing compared to the original surgery. Ask the dentist treating you.

Answer 2

Not really: If the surgeon told you that you are ready for impression, the dentist will not need to do any procedure on your gums, Normally we not even need to placed anesthesia for the impression

Answer 3

Kind Of: If the implants are healing below the gums, then the small area of gum tissue which is covering them needs to be accessed. I wouldn't exactly call this small procedure "slicing into my gums with a scalpel." Your dentist may use a laser, or a tissue punch, or some other type of instrument. In either case, it's a comfortable procedure. You'll be numb. Much easier for you than getting the implants.

Answer 4

No: Lasik is "safe" from the perspective of risks of harm to the mother or fetus but, "will the procedure be effective"? Pregnancy is associated with visual accuity changes related to fluid retention and corneal edema. Elective vision correction surgery is best done in a baseline non-pregnant condition to achieve long term good results. More than "what meets the eye" must be considered here.

Answer 5

Yes: Its safe, but i don't think any opthalmologist would do it.

Answer 6

No.: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause changes in the shape of the cornea, just as they allow ligaments in the body to relax, resulting in fluctuating vision before or after lasik. Dry eye also is more common during pregnancy and this has been associated with regression of the laser effect. Many doctors give Valium preop and steroids drops postop, which may not be optimal during pregnancy.

Answer 7

Not recommended: I agree with dr. Pepose. I would not recommend it during pregnancy for any member of my family.

Answer 8

No: No. Prescription is not stable due to high circulating hormone levels. Wait 6-8 weeks after delivery and breastfeeding is complete.

Answer 9

No: would recommend you wait until after your pregnancy is completed.

Answer 10

Surgery if indicated: Assuming you have gall bladder stones that are giving you trouble, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be done by a general surgeon in a day care surgical center.

Answer 11

Gallbladder disease: If you were started on ursodiol during your pregnancy, it likely was to mitigate risk of serious gallbladder disease during a time when surgery is not recommended, (pregnancy). Now, if your pregnancy is over and you and baby are healthy, your risk/benefit analysis changes in favor of stopping ursodiol. Gallbladder removal is also okay, lower risk, after delivery. Be well.

Answer 12

Hard to tell: Neck pain and joint pain is just as common in eds as in many other non-eds causes. As far as joint surgeries go, I am not sure what kind of surgeries you had and for what reason. Definitely, eds patients have multiple joint problems (hypermobility, fractures, laxaty etc.) that makes them prone to trauma etc.

Answer 13

Can be: There are several websites that discuss eds. This site appears to be a good one: http://www.Medicinenet.Com/ehlers-danlos_syndrome/article.Htm get the facts on ehlers-danlos syndrome (eds) symptoms (joint hypermobility, skin laxity), causes (inherited), diagnosis, types, treatment and research.

Answer 14

Pain is subjective: Some people are very tolerant of pain from surgery and some are very pain sensitive. Some do great with pain control, some have a very difficult time getting a medication that controls their pain and does not make them nauseous. Most isolated mcl tears are not surgically repaired and heal with bracing. Pain associated with the repair really depends on the technique used on the repair.

Answer 15

Possible: It is possible to feel sinus pressure after having an upper wisdom tooth removed, but it doesn't usually feel that way. Contact your oral surgeon or dentist to make sure that you don't have an infection, or a sinus communication. Follow up today.

Answer 16

Can happen: While it's not common to feel excess sinus pressure following extractions, it can happen especially if the extractions are from the upper jaw, it can occur if you had an infection issue prior to the extractions or after. In either case you need to find out if you do have an infection going on and get the proper antibiotic treatment..Do it asap so it does not become a more serious situation.
