Hi its wino here can ANYONE please help me i am having my nuclear imaging scan on Tuesday.And part of my filling and tooth had just fell out, but i remember someone saying that before they were going to have the scan the nurse asked them if they had any problems with their mouth i am really upset as i have had to wait 5 weeks already for this scan and i dont want to wait any longer can someone please help answer this question
Hi wino, I dont know is the answer, but looking at info re nuclear imaging I cant see anything specific about dental problems. I would hope that losing a tooth would not stop a scan going ahead. Sometimes they ask questions about health in general including mouth / dental issues but only major issues are pertinent. You have two choices I guess , ring the Dept beforehand or go for the scan and see what they ask you.
Fingers crossed all goes ahead as anticipated.
Hi ownedbystaffies Thank you for getting back i really appreciate your reply. I really wanted your advice on the matter as i can see you are a reliable sauce of information. I am going ahead with scan and saying nothing, and having the tooth extracted later in week.I am to scared to ring Dept before as i have had to wait 5 weeks for the b****y scan as it is. Again thank you,you are a font of information,Keep calm Xx
Hi Wino
Hope scan goes well tomorrow! I’m not sure it matters about your tooth for the scan as mine was neck to pelvis scan! Not sure though!
Hi ownedbystaffies Thank you much appreciated Xx
Hi Jo6 Thank you, its going to be a busy day but needs to be done as you well know. I have good painkillers if my tooth starts to ache, i am having these scans no matter what Take care Xx
