Having 6 teeth removed...can i take neproxen up to 24 hours before ? thanks !

Yes, you can: and this is great idea for preemptive analgesia. Just inform your surgeon prior to the procedure. Good luck.

No,No,No,Yes,Yes,Yes: Some will say "No,no,you'll bleed to death!" Others, "No,no, it will delay healing!" Others, "Yes,yes it will suppress inflammation and pain!" And I say it's probably all true: You'll bleed to death painlessly before your teeth heal. So what to do? Use Tylenol (acetaminophen). It's just as good as naproxen for most pain, as far as I'm concerned. But better: call your dentist, I'm sure he's been asked this before!
