It's completely understandable to feel worried and down about this — especially when your treatment is finally starting to make a difference. That's actually really great news about your injection working!

The good news is that a dental procedure shouldn't automatically mean stopping your biologic treatment. However, it's really important to let both your dermatologist and your dentist know about your medication before any procedure.

Here's why that conversation matters:

- Your dermatologist can advise whether your injection needs to be timed around the procedure
- Your dentist needs to know about your biologic so they can plan your care safely
- Together, they can help make sure your HS treatment stays on track Feeling low when facing extra health challenges on top of managing HS is really common. As one myHSteam member shared, life with HS can sometimes feel overwhelming, but finding your way back is possible.

Talking to your doctor about how you're feeling emotionally, alongside the dental situation, is a great step. You don't have to navigate this alone. 💙
