A lot needs to be fixed with my mouth, functionally and cosmetically. Unfortunately, I&#8217;m being treated for PTSD. If there are people over me, I lash out. I&#8217;m going to need sedation dentistry, but don&#8217;t know if I can with the PTSD meds I&#8217;m on. Any advice?<\/p>\n<p>Allen H.<\/p>\n<p>Allen,<\/p>\n<p>Up front, I want to thank you for your service. You&#8217;re keeping our family&#8217;s safe. I am beyond grateful. Our country owes you a debt. Don&#8217;t think for one second you&#8217;re not appreciated.

I recommend getting with the dentist ahead of time and discussing your medications. That way he or she can plan to use medications which have no contraindications with the medications you&#8217;re on. <\/p>\n<p>Make sure you tell the dentist that you&#8217;re interested in cosmetic work, too. This will enable them to make the best decisions and give you all the options. There are some treatments which <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/teeth-whitening-gilbert.html\">if you plan on doing teeth whitening<\/a> at any point, you&#8217;ll want to have it done first. Things like <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\/gilbert-cerec-crowns.html\">porcelain crowns<\/a> and fillings cannot be whitened after they&#8217;re bonded. <\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/vistadoradadental.com\">Dr. Matt Roper<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve served in the military for 12 years.
