Hi Micheal's,

Actually it is fine to have IV vitamin C with each removal and before if you

like. It is very safe.

There is no problem as long as they don't add glutathione, or other things

to it.

They can buffer it to a pH of 7.2 so it does not sting, but they should know

that.

However, you must NOT take ORAL vitamin C 24 hours before a dental

appointment. That will interfere with the anesthetic.

The reason why the IV Vit C does not interfere and the ORAL Vit C does is

unclear.

Well, having been part of the process of at least a dozen people going

through the full dental revision with IV Vit C and conscious sedation I can

say that it is quite accurate.
