How do I get my Rheumatologist to listen ?

I am considering having a sinus lift and bone graft in service to dental Implants down the road when bone gets solid.
In the surgery they give decadron to control swelling. I asked if they ever use Prednisone and his answer was no because that suppresses the immune system.
He must have missed the day when they describe decadron as a steroid aka immunosuppressant. 🙄

Believe it or not, I just finished having the crown placed on a dental implant after a sinus lift and bone graft. From tooth extraction to crown it took nearly 2 years.
I like my new tooth but I was getting used to having no tooth. I was on Actemra during the entire time. No complications from all the dental work during this time.
