No: There is minimal blood loss with wisdom teeth extraction, so if you're "slightly anemic," you should be just fine.

It depends: In general, you don't eed to worry about this condition when getting an extraction, the oral surgeon will evaluate your medical history and will decide if you need any additional tests or medications before the surgery.

Physician clearance: If systemic disorder is involved, always get medical clearance from your primary care physician before any surgical procedure. Proper preparation for oral surgery will eliminate complications like excessive bleeding and wound healing, thus, decreasing the recovery time. Be safe.
