- Inform your dentist about your condition.
- Tell him what triggers your asthma attacks.
- If you use an inhalation spray, bring it with you to the dentist to be used if needed.
- If you take corticosteroids, your dentist must know about it.
- Sometimes you need to take corticosteroid before dental work.
- Inform your dentist about other medications you are taking.
- These drugs may interact with some anesthetics or pain relievers.
- Sometimes it is necessary to have an oxygen device available in the dental office so that it can be used for the patient if an asthma attack occurs.
- The way you sit in the dental chair can also affect the patient’s breathing.
- So work with your dentist to find the right position for you.
