Yes!!! Don't use novacane or something like the local numbing agents!! Tell your dentist that you have moyamoya and you cannot have medicines that vasoconstrict. Is that correct? Because I cannot have meds that vasoconstrict and I also heard that's common for MM>
I just had a cavity filled and I fell in love with the dentist bc he actualy told me that I should tell dentists not to use the novacane and he did his research. I didn't expect it! Now, I never fail to tell the eye doctor, the doctor, or the dentist that I have moyamoya and I beg them to do their research. Just to think I had 6 surgeries on my mouth and 12 teeth pulled usng that stuff before I was diagnosed 6 years ago. I'm happy to be alive. |

Destin just went through this with her doctors. She went to get her wisdom teeth pulled. Her neurologist said absolutely no IV sedation. He didn't want her to do anything unless it was really necessary. Her oral surgeon suggested waiting and pulling them later since it is not crucial at this time. I would call your neurologist and ask him/her then I would make sure the dentist understands and listens to what you and your neuro say. We went to 2 oral surgeons. The first one didn't listen and wanted to give her IV sedation.
