Re: Tooth Exraction with warfarin??

Sounds very normal. It amazes me how quickly the effects of warfarin go away

when its ingestion is stopped. I had essentially the same instructions for

getting ready for an umbilical hernia repair.

Hi all

Whats peoples experience of tooth extraction while on warfarin.

My normal inr runs at 2.2-2.5 and I need to have a tooth

extracted as soon as poss. Normally i live in UK but at the moment am

in Spain, the dentist here just seems very relaxed and just

says...Stop taking the Warfarin for 4 days prior to extraction then

start again after....all very laid back.

Does this sound OK???

Hi,

I have had extractions while taking coumadin, and they went well. One thing

that is important is to tell your dentist beforehand. The first time, I

forgot to tell her, until she was in the middle of the procedure, and she

turned white and almost fainted. I was fine. But tell your dentist first.

I've had lots of dental work while on Coumadin, including tooth extraction

and I stop just 3 days before! I haven't had any problems with this, but I

don't restart my Coumadin until whatever bleeding there is has pretty much

stopped. My INR is also around 2.5, but after stopping Coumadin for a few

days it always takes a week or so for my INR to return to the right level.

Good luck!

Yes that is the normal practice. Four days off and then back on the warfare

again.

No worries.

In January of 04, I had a full mouth extraction done under general

anathesia.......was off Coumadin 4 days prior to extraction. No

problems.
