I see a regular dentist with no problems. I asked my rheumatologist about pre-dosing an antibiotic prior to any dental work. She said my 3x weekly bactrim DS would be fine, and it has been. I've had two crowns put in and four teeth (three wisdom teeth that were starting to deteriorate and a split bicuspid) extracted with no issues.
However, I was in remission when all this work was done. I don't know what might happen if your disease is active.
