My surgery is fast approaching and as I've said many times on here, in one appointment (one day) I will be having all my teeth extracted, implants put in (4 upper 4 lower) and implants (arch). Under general anesthesia because my dentist doesn't think IV sedation will be enough for me given my PTSD issues.
My question is, for this type of surgery, are anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics always necessary? I have been prescribed these along with Tylenol 3s and I'll have to take them for a week following surgery.
So is this a must? Will it interfere with my healing or is the dentist just covering all angles to make sure there isn't a problem? Because if I really don't have to take them, I won't.... some of you may remember I'm the one with the severe debilitating vomiting phobia. This combination of drugs, especially right after general anesthesia, sounds like a recipe for major nausea and vomiting.
Thanks in advance. Oh and I welcome replies from anyone/everyone - not just dentists. Thanks.
I'm scared.
