Steroids and prophy: Prednisone(taken orally) should not interfere with the dental cleaning. Infact, there is some depression of the immune system when on steroids and keeping your teeth clean should be a priority to avoid compromising your health.

Yes, Absolutely: If you're due for a teeth cleaning, you shouldn't have any worries about your current Prednisone treatment. Make sure your dentist and hygienist know exactly what drug you're on and what dosage you're taking. They also need to know why you're taking it and for how much longer. But, your dental cleaning will be just fine.
