Does it bleed in teeth's root canal treatment? i m asking since i take some blood thinner medicine regularly for some other disease and i can't stop my blood thinner. my pt/inr is approx 2.5, do i need to worry for bleeding while root canal treatment?

The short answer is no! I also take blood thinners and as a dentist i would not be concerned in having a root canal treatment procedure.

Extremely unlikely to have a bleeding issue from the root canal treatment. Your physician should direct you if you should stop the blood thinner
