Answered by Doctor, Doctor Nguyen Luong Tan - Cardiovascular Center, Vinmec Central Park International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Should I have my teeth extracted while taking anticoagulants? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You must tell the Cardiologist about the plan to extract the tooth. The Cardiologist will have a plan to adjust the medicine so that you can safely extract the tooth and use it again after surgery without affecting the heart valves and the body. You will have to return the prescription you are taking, drugs, dosage, monitoring values when taking anticoagulants if any such as INR, platelets for the doctor to know and adjust the dose.
If you still have questions about tooth extraction, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
