A couple of years ago I needed a crown. My dentist was going to do a temp crown and had started the process when he stopped and said...when is your next dive trip? As it turned out it was about 10 days away. He said there was no way he could do the temp crown as I'd have to dive on it and he would not allow me to risk getting an air bubble under that crown at 120 ft and then bolt to the surface from the excruitiating pain while most likely embolising on the way up too boot. Basically you could have kissed my tush goodbye all because of a temporary crown. And who would have thunk it????
Moral of the Story????
Find a diving dentist, doctor, and all your healthcare professionals as they are worth their weight in gold!!!
And I know for myself, I had a really bad spider bite that almost kept me from diving on one of my trips.
It got me thinking, what have others discovered as hidden (or not so hidden) health problems that can affect diving?
