So there’s a patient with medical record that consuming an aspirin, but he wants to extract his tooth. Is it dangerous for him? well since he’s consuming an aspirin...? And why so? Maybe u can attach link for the journals that proof ur answer. Thanks a lot!
So here's the thing. Aspirin is anti aggregation agent. Meaning it inhibits platelets from forming clots. So it increases bleeding time. It's half life on the blood is approximately 10 days which means it would take ten days to start working after starting treatment and 10 days to stop working after discontinuing treatment. Have your patient discontinue aspirin for 10 days then have the tooth extraction. If it's an emergency then you'll have to weigh pros against cons. Risk/benefit. You need a reference just look at my name.
