What Precautions Should Be Taken For Fluctuating Platelets Before Root Canal Treatment?
My blood platelet count is fluctuating between 40,000 to 50,000 for the past 12 years. I get comprehensive health check done every year.No abnormalities. Diagnosis ITP.All parameters-kidneys,liver,spleen, pancreas etc are normal. My BP varies between 120-150 & 78-92 for the past 10 years and I take nebivolol tablets. Bone marrow was done but no abnormalities detected. I only take multivitamins regularly. Doctor did not advise any other treatment . If i get cut in shaving or injury the bleeding stops normally.I get minor bruises sometimes when i get hurt.
Now i want to do root canal and also extract tooth. please advise it is safe and what precautions dentist should take.My hb is 13 and CBC is normal except platelet. I am 66 years of age and in good health.
If the other parameters are under control root canal treatment can be safely performed. A proper antibiotic coverage is required. But before the extraction of tooth a Physician consult is required.
Take care!
