Dentists are generally trained to provide treatment for patients with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) without discrimination. Having HSV-1 should not typically prevent you from receiving dental care, including cosmetic procedures. However, it's always a good idea to inform your dentist about your medical history so they can take necessary precautions during the procedure.

If you have active lesions or symptoms of oral herpes at the time of your appointment, it is advisable to reschedule until the outbreak has cleared up to minimize any potential risks involved in performing dental work while experiencing an outbreak.

Remember that open communication with your healthcare providers is key in ensuring safe and effective treatments tailored to your individual needs.
