I’m on 15 mg pred for PMR. I have to get a wisdom tooth extracted. Any insight as to complications? I’ve read that once on prednisone the healing is much longer and the likelihood of infection is greater. Thoughts? Thanks!

I thought I would share this reference while you wait for others with experience with tooth extractions while on prednisone.

Have you talked to your dentist about being on prednisone and what to expect?
