How Safe Is To Remove Wisdom Teeth While Having Hashimoto's Disease?
is it safe to remove wisdom teeth for a person with hasimoto's disease who has an abnormal thyroid antibody lab results (135)? One wisdom tooth is laying almost sideways. Thank you The patient is 5'6" and weighs approx 120 lbs. He also has abnormal TPO-AB (117)
I am trying to give you some more information regarding to your query. Until now there isn't any relationship between high thyroid antibodies and coagulation. Hashimoto is an autoimmune disease and the antibodies causing it are specific only for the thyroid gland. In these cases you should check the full blood count and the coagulation time, but you do not have to worry for the high TPO antibodies. All what they can cause is hypothyroidism.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards, Dr.Mirjeta
