I am set to have a deep rooting and scaling done on the top right quad of my jaw. Is there anything the Perio. needs to know he didn't seem to concerned when I told him I had Lyme. He was okay with that fact that I am already on abx. He was going to prescribe some abx before the procedure. ALso, one tooth needs to have a bone graft done. Is there any potential problems with this procedure and Lyme that he might need to know?

I just want to let you know that in my case, having oral surgery was one of the worst decisions of my life. I had the surgery abot a year ago before i knew I had lyme, because I was having headaches and facial pain. I had the bone scraped where my wisdom teeth used to be. Big mistake. I woke up more sick than I ever had been and to this day, I have still not recovered. Granted, I had the surgery because I was sick, but I wasn't sick with what I was having the surgery for. I was sick with lyme, not a single symptom that I had the surgery for was gone, and I woke up with far more problems than I did before the sugerey. This last year since the surgerey has seemed like a nightmare. It is one of the few things in my life I think I would take back if I could. Who knows though.

DocDave is the one who usually answered these type of questions.

He unfortunately left Lymenet though. Don't think he's back or will be coming back soon.

If you are interested in talking with him, email me.
