MG and going to the dentist

I have MG and I am scared to get my mouth numbed up at the dentist. Does a person with MG do ok with this?

    1. Hello I go to the dentist quite a bit and from personal experience I do fine with the numbing meds. I'm numbed up for the expected amount of time. You should be fine but still express to your dentist that you are immune compromised and on any medications. - Jazmin (team member)
