A member asked:
Can you have a tooth extracted while you are taking coumadin (warfarin)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pause may be needed: Your doctor should be monitoring the level of blood thinning by measuring your inr. If your INR is above 3, a tooth extraction can lead to a great deal of bleeding. Before your procedure, your doctor may want to withhold your warfarin (coumadin) until your INR falls to a safer level, then restart immediately after the procedure.

Yes: But stop Coumadin (warfarin) 1 week before the procedure.
