Dental care after renal transplant


Transplant Unit


Renal transplant information >>>

Make sure that your dentist knows that you have had a kidney transplant and what medication you are taking.

It is advisable to have routine dental checks six monthly. If you had teeth extracted prior to your transplant it is advisable to wait for a period of six months before having dentures fitted as the medications that you are taking can affect your gums. Antibiotics should be given before any invasive dental treatment eg: tooth extractions.
