tooth out

[Pammy124prms]

has anybody ever had a really bad coughing fit after having a tooth out. i coughed all day nd it was very productive, im on ticagrelor and ive had this anaesthetic loads of times before but not since ive been on ticagrelor. im now too afraid to go back for the rest of my treatment

Telephone the dental surgery and ask for a phone consult so you can talk about your concerns with the dentist. He/she needs to know about the productive coughing post-procedure (and what meds you're on) and during the phone consult should be able to put your mind to rest about further treatment - including reformulating the treatment plan to accommodate meds and worries.

Don't delay or try to avoid further treatment if it is needed. Avoiding treatment for whatever reason often leads to tooth loss, abscess, and other complications.

Pammy did you inform the dentist that you were taking ticagrelor? I would call them to discuss. I was taking ticagrelor for twelve months along with the usual heart meds and dentist would not even do a scrape and polish

Best to check

Take care
