Common Questions and Answers about Plavix and dental extractions

plavix

Avatar n tn I'm due dental work in a few weeks time and need to know how long I need to stop Clopedogrel before hand?.
Avatar n tn The American Dental Association has agreed with the American Heart Association and the AMA, that there are no dental procedures that require the patient to stop Plavix. I read this yesterday, and the article mentioned that much to their dismay, cardiologist were still hearing from their patients that some nutty dentists were still asking them to stop Plavix for a procedure.
Avatar m tn that is the reason some people with heart disease need to have antibiotics before any dental work; however, HBP and a higher than normal HR is not indicative of heart disease. Usually the type of problem you would have as a result of an infection would be a form of dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, pericarditis or endocarditis.You would have been pretty sick, more than likely in the hospital. Bottom line: your tooth didn't cause these kinds of problems.
Avatar m tn I watched an online surgery video recording where a patient had stents inserted. The cardiologists then took questions from an audience of doctors and the public. One question posed was "does plavix have to be stopped for dental surgery". The reply was "no, plavix has actually been shown not to produce uncontrollable bleeding and even a tooth extraction is very safe". This was a video from 2009, so I'm wondering if the general concensus has now altered.
Avatar m tn I am asking this question due to the lot's of people facing complications after medical procedure and medicines. So please share tips about how to take care of our teeth without taking chemical related stuff.

Avatar n tn ihad a tooth pulled and now the tooth next to it is hurting just like the one i had extracted. there is no tooth in front or behind this tooth. it is normal for it to be in so much pain. it has been 6 days.
Avatar dr m tn Have you undergone any dental extractions in the past, and if so, how many teeth were removed? I have a smaller jaw and had quite a lot of extractions - probably 6 3. Have you undergone any jaw surgeries in the past, and if so, what type? None 4. Were you bottle-fed or breast fed as an infant? Bottle fed 5. Do you snore? Yes 6. Do you have cold hands or feet?
Avatar f tn Hi, my kitties have had lots of cleanings and extractions over the years and never have had Antib's before the procedure. And we're only ever given a 5 day round after extractions not after just a cleaning. So glad you didn't allow convienia.....
Avatar m tn Hiv is not transmitted via dental extractions and all dental tools are sterilized to meet guidelines and health standards.Your safe.
Avatar n tn I had a healthy dog until he went under for dental cleaning and tooth extractions. The tooth extractions went well, but two days later he developed pancreatitis. We got it under control with medication and low fat canned food. However, when we stopped the meds we noticed he wasn't turning his neck and his neck started throbbing. We took him in again to the vet. The vet x-rayed his neck and said he has a slipped disk.
Avatar f tn s a ton out there ) about complications that can arise from wisdom teeth extractions. Alas, I did not investigate fully ( accepting only my oral surgeons view ) and am paying the price for that neglect. There ARE other options. Interestingly enough there's even a segment of dental medicine that advocates NO wisdom teeth extractions except under the most extreme circumstances. Please...BE INFORMED.

514349 tn?1272801633 He said everything was fine except for some dental problems. He gave me an itemized breakdown of what it would cost - $359 to $408 and that is for EACH cat, so that means I could be spending anywhere from $716 to $816 on cat teeth. I wanted to know if these charges on the list are on the high side and what, if any, are "padding".
Avatar n tn t take for because it can cause a heart attack and being I do not numb I have to be put under for the tooth extractions. Make sure you tell your dentist about your heart condition and he will tell you to get a medical clearance first because he will not touch you.
Avatar n tn I have to have dental work done. Deep cleaning and two fillings. My doctor said to go off medicine 3 to 5 days before procedure. Is this going to pose a risk?
Avatar f tn He's been dealing with tooth pain and my insurance covers very little found out it'll be around $800.00 tip brave two extractions. I'm waiting till Dec1st 2016 when my second dental insurance kicks in.until than can i use clarithromycin 500 mg to help ease the pain? It was mine but i never had to use it.
Avatar m tn I put in a coated stent in 2005 and another stent was put in just 10 days ago. A dental problem has cropped up which needs taking out the current filling ( drilling ) and having the tooth repaired. Would it be safe to undergo this dental procedure given the last stent is only 10 days old. I'am concerned about the drilling and whether it would have an adverse affect on the latest stent. I take plavix. Would I have to stop taking it before the procedure.
Avatar m tn is it typical for doctor to prescribe 75 mg plavix and 325 mg aspirin? and then to add 800 mg ibuprofen 3/day for pain management?
1243333 tn?1296446902 I am going to need extensive dental work in the next year due to extensive dental decay my fault, the problem is I am on plavix and 325mg of aspirin due to extensive CAD plus several other Meds for high Blood pressure, how would a dentist approach this or would they or do I have to find a specialist in the dental field?
Avatar n tn for root canal and 2 fillings. She is also on Plavix which is scary and her cardio doctor wants her off Plavix no more than 3 days. With "me" everytime I had Lidocaine or one of the caines and EPI, my heart would race for about 12-15 hours later...but not A-FIB...just a fast NSR heart rate.
Avatar f tn Iehp will cover certain visits. if your your over 21 it will not cover cleanings and fillings. It will cover emergency dentist visits and tooth extractions.
Avatar f tn It generally covers extractions and certain fillings. I had to have a wisdom tooth pulled at 23 weeks and I am on medicaid. Your dentist might ask for a letter from your doctor saying it is ok for them to preform the procedure and what medications and anesthetics they can use.
Avatar n tn I am getting ready to have 17 extractions done on the same day and have Afordable Dentures put a full set of dentures in. Is it safe to have that many teeth taken out at the same time?? Will I be able to function the next day?? When do you think I can return to work??
Avatar f tn I am also a dental assistant. I agree with the post above. You need to see a dentist asap in case there is an infection. If there is, you will need an antibiotic. It is not recommended that pregnant women have xrays and we never do them unless the patient is in severe pain and we have reason to believe there might be an infection. We have done extractions on pregnant women and their stage in pregnancy never made a difference.
