I am 57 years old. I had a bypass surgery four months back. I am taking Deplatt and Aspirin (daily one tablet). Now, my wisdom tooth has a problem and needs to be extracted. Can I go for tooth extraction while I am taking the above-mentioned medicines? Is it risky? What precautions need to be taken?

Both the drugs you are taking make the blood thinner and can lead to bleeding. Hence, you will need to discontinue the medicines for a while before you go in for tooth extraction.
