If you are worried about risks of bleeding and wondered if you need to discontinue NOACs before undergoing dental treatment – you should read this rather reassuring article and share it with your dentist too.

Can’t find the article - sent to NY Times financial report?

I had a large tooth taken out without stopping Apixaban and I think there was no increase in seepage from the socket. I suppose it’s all about risk management. Would like to read the article . . .
