This is interesting... my cardio says dental work is not a problem if

INR is below 3.

I recently had a full cleaning at my INR was 2.7, though I do supposed

that having a tooth removed would be a bit more serious.

I had a root canal and nobody said to stop warfarin - especially the

dentist who did it.
