Guillain-Barre syndrome, associated with inflammation of peripheral nerves. Since it is a disabling polyneuropathy care must be taken during dental Extractions. Post Extraction care must also be accounted to to rule out bacterial endocarditis. Also, electromyograph could be recommended prior to Extractions.
Therefore consult with a oral medicine specialist and then a oral Maxillofacial Surgeon to assist you better. Cheers
