Does anyone know of a dentist who specialises in Lupus patients anywhere in the UK? very bad tooth!

I would imagine that dentists get taught the same amount about lupus as GPs (not a great deal but they have a basic understanding). One of my dentist's exams was on lupus, by chance. They also tend to know about meds in general, so I'd think they were much of a muchness between dentists and their knowledge of lupus.

But you'd be sure to get a dentist with more lupus knowledge if they work in a hospital where a lupus speciality clinic is, like St Thomas' in London. I don't know if you can get to see a hospital dentist, though.

If you want my dentist's details, PM me. He's in Middlesex.

Good luck.

Look in your area for a University Teaching Hospital that has a Dentistry School attached to it; most big cities have these. If you have an immediate problem, most Dentisry Hospitals have what is effectively an A&E Department, and you should be able to walk in. If the problem is not urgent then get your GP and/ or dentist to refer you.

Hey... a Very specific question but I’m wondering if anyone on here has ever had dental implant surgery done in Victoria? I’m partially done with the process (bone graft done, the implant post is placed) and I need a dentist who can now do the crown and gum training associated with it to make it look aesthetically pleasing...I really want someone who is experienced since I’ll have this smile for the rest of my life. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Patrick,

You are right. Your question is very specific. Did you ask the doctor that did the other work for a referral? Dental assistants or hygienists might also be a good source. Maybe you will find some help from some of these sites customer ratings of dentists in victoria.

Good luck,
