A member asked:
Is it ok to have dental procedure on high dose of prednisone ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Speak to your md: It is not usually a problem but if you have been on steroids for a while you may need to adjust the dose before more invasive procedures. Speak to your md regarding any changes and make sure to inform your dentist about all medications you are taking before the procedure.
