DENTAL CARE WITH DYSKINESIA

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

I am wondering what other people with pd & levodopa-induced dyskinesia do when they need dental care. How do you go about getting the dental work done? Do you get it done with the aid of 'conscious sedation'?

I just went to the dentist for new dentures. I also suffer from dyskinesia, it's hard to be still while they work in mouth.

I think it's called sun downing, as the day goes on they forget about what is going on now and retreat into the past. I would tell his doctor real quick.

The last couple days my husband has been so angry but forgets in the evening about what happened. Is this PD? Maybe Dementia?
