Consultation: Your dentist will consult with your physician (the one who prescribed the daily Aspirin dose) to determine the proper course of action. These decisions need to be made when having a full medical history and an evaluation of the tooth being extracted...

ASA 81 mg: This rarely if ever poses a problem in and of itself. However, your own dentist will evaluate your medical history and the procedure to be performed, and if necessary, consult with you physician.

Yes: If you are not taking any additional prescription or OTC meds that can contribute to prolonged bleeding or have any significant medical contraindications, having an extraction can usually be safely performed if you are taking an 81mg aspirin.
