I am taking xarelto b/c of a blot clot in calf following broken 5th metatarsal. now i have a toothache & need to see dentist. what r my options?

You can see dentist: See your dentist and get your toothache treated. Make certain that you tell the dentist about your medications and a complete health history. You can get dental treatment while on xerelto. Your dentist may need to consult with your md, but you can be treated.

Anticoagulants: You are taking a medication which should not prevent a dentist from taking care of your toothache. Surgery would be a problem or tooth extraction . Beyond that you should be ok.

Call your DDS and MD: Taking xarelot should not be an issue if you need to deal with assesing the cause of a tooth ache. First thing you should do is call your dentist to get in asap and evaluate your tooth pain. At the same time your md needs to be alerted. If you need a root canal or filling there shouldn't be a problem. But if you need an extraction, bleeding maybe an issue depending your meds.

Visit the dentist: If you have a toothache probably will get worse and you may need a root canal. Viosit your dentist for an evaluation and see what is causing the toothache.

Check with your podt: Check with your podiatrist .And physician before seeing dentist ..Getting consent from them if can get tooth work done if needed and do you have to stop or change any medicine..So that way when you see the dentist..The problem can be treated right away if possible.
