Severe nausea / vomiting disorders

Dental riskmoderate

Severe nausea/vomiting disorders (cyclic vomiting, gastroparesis, hyperemesis, recurrent regurgitation) create dental risks: (1) ASPIRATION/choking risk from active nausea/vomiting and poor swallow control, (2) dental EROSION from intrinsic acid exposure (palatal surfaces), (3) dehydration/electrolyte issues → syncope risk and poor tolerance of long visits, (4) higher risk with sedation/GA (loss of protective reflexes). RCS: intrinsic gastric acid from vomiting causes significant palatal erosion. ADA: don't brush immediately after vomiting; rinse first.

The full condition entry includes

  • Safe vs avoid lists: antibiotics, analgesics, local anesthetics
  • Vasoconstrictor limits and treatment modifications
  • Pre/intra/post-op monitoring and deferral criteria
