🦷 Dental procedures can trigger HAE swelling
Trauma to the mouth during dental treatment can cause oral swelling and may increase the risk of swelling affecting the throat or airway.

Before any dental procedure:
💙 Inform your dentist that you have HAE 💚 Consult your HAE-treating physician 💙 Make sure your treatment and emergency plan is up to date

Any swelling affecting the throat or airway requires immediate medical attention.

HAE affects more than physical health! ‼️
it can influence education, careers and everyday opportunities.

Whether it’s missing school due to an attack, worrying about falling behind, or navigating work while managing an unpredictable condition, the impact of HAE reaches far beyond the symptoms.
By raising awareness and fostering understanding, we can help create more supportive schools, workplaces and communities for everyone living with HAE 💜

To celebrate HAE Day, 94 patients and caregivers from across South Africa came together for our patient meeting.

This gathering was made even more special as we hosted the very first in-person meeting for our youngsters community, with 26 young people attending. It was a day filled with connection, support, learning, and shared experiences - reminding us all that no one walks this journey alone.

Thank you to every patient, caregiver, youngster, supporter and industry representative who joined us and helped make the day so meaningful. Together, we continue to build a stronger HAE community in South Africa. 💙
