Most common questions used to investigate
Do you feel like you have the common cold?
Do you feel like you have tonsillitis?
Do you have a musculo-skeletal disorder?
Have you undergone any surgical operations on your body?
Common conclusions
Undergoing dental procedures while experiencing a cold is not advised if you do not have a pressing issue. Except in cases of emergency treatment situations, it is better to postpone your appointment. If you have difficulties breathing through your nose, a sore throat or a cough, it can be quite uncomfortable for you to sit during your visit. Schedule an appointment at the dentist once you feel better.
Having your tonsils swollen may lead to further discomfort during your dental visit. It is better to achieve a persistent remission or complete recovery before visiting the dentist.
Having a musculo-skeletal disorder may require special conditions during your dental visit. Inform your dentist about your status before your visit. Undergoing dental work is still possible in this case but may require dividing your treatment into several steps in order to allow for you to feel more comfortable and spend less time in one position with your mouth open.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether you can still visit your dentist if you are sick. The main issue to take into consideration is your comfort during your dental visit. Contact your dentist for more information on your particular situation.
