Not a good idea: The best plan is to share his symptoms with the people at the dialysis center so they can evaluate his feeling unwell. Skipping treatment may just make him feel worse and poses risk to his well being. Get him back in touch with the center to schedule a session right away.

Dialysis and Dental : A patient that has ongoing dialysis and is in need of dental treatment should always consult with the physician who is in charge of the dialysis before any invasive dental procedure is performed. If dental treatment needs to be completed it should be on the days that the patient is not having dialysis, tue, thu, sat. Patient should not miss a dialysis appointment.
