I had a molar out a few months ago, my INR was checked in the morning, extraction in the afternoon and my INR was 3.4. There was no bleeding, the dentist packed and stitched the gum. He said there was no need to come off warfarin or even to reduce it, he did give me antibiotic cover. My dentist is one of the consultants at the dental department at the hospital and if he says it is ok then it is ok.
Good to know Sue, thank you! I need some dental work done like you Woodbutcher (& I found you're telling the dentist not to be a baby very funny lol!). But now I can relax as well, when seeing the dreaded dentist. LOL.
