Hi and welcome. If dental is badly needed I would do it. Two of my
positives had multiple teeth extracted and it went ok, though one got a URI
from the
stress of surgery that took a while to go away. But their teeth were so bad
they could not eat without the extractions.
I would immediately put him on 500 mg/day of lysine for herpes. For the
gingivitis you might want to try a 5 day course of clindamycin, an antibiotic
that is especially good for gums. My Patches stopped eating due to bad
gingivitis but has felt fine since a course of clindamycin. The liquid is
horrible
tasting, though, so i would recommend pills.
