Enbrel and Dental Work | Arthritis Information

Hi

I think I've seen the answer to this either here or another board, but can't remember what it was.   If you're on Enbrel and having dental work, should you stop the Enbrel?  Just fillings, not root canal, etc.   I didn't think you had to and too late if I should have, but asking anyways.   I went in on Wednesday for a filling - sensitive tooth, so lots of extra novacaine shots and I woke up today with a scratchy throat and cough.  Proabably unrelated, but...
I had an onlay and a crown and did not have to go off Enbrel for that .
Sometimes after novicane I feel a bit gaggy but novicane has always done that to me .
I just had a crown three weeks ago and didn't stop my Enbrel.  I haven't experienced any problems.
