Will Being on Steroids Affect Recovery After Dental Surgery?

[Anjali2356]

Hi, my name is Anjali. I have been on steroids for a few months now. However, recently, I had a flare-up of tooth pain. I went into my local dental clinic for a checkup, where the dentist recommended that I needed to get the tooth removed. Now, this procedure has been described as a surgical procedure. I want to know whether my prescription of steroids will impact my recovery process after my dental surgery. Does anyone here have any experience with that? If you do, I would love to know what I should do! Thank you in advance!

what steroids are you taking?

Steroids can affect healing and immune response, so it’s important to inform your oral surgeon. They may adjust your medication or take precautions to prevent complications. I recommend consulting both your prescribing doctor and the dentist. Wishing you a smooth recovery—you're doing the right thing by asking!
