Is Extraction Of Tooth Safe Post Angioplasty?
I have undergone angioplasty in March 2011 and now I have a toothache . The dentist advised me to consult a cardiologist before extracting tooth. He also told me to stop ecosprin.
But the cardiologist who had undergone the angioplasty is in Kolkata and I am in Agartala.
May you please advise

Read your query.
Yes,it is very important for you to have a yes from your cardiologist to proceed with the tooth extraction.
You can avail a local cardiologist and get a check up done.
Yes you have to stop ecosprin before your tooth removal,to avoid more bleeding.
For the pain you take painkiller,consult your cardiologist and get the tooth removed,if you cannot get it filled.
Thanks and warm regards.
