Can an elderly person on blood thinners still get dental work done (Bridge work)?
I am on blood thinners from a clot. He will have to talk his doctor first. I had to have two surgeries and the doctor and the nurse had to wean me off the blood thinners first and then bridge that with Lovenox. I had to give myself the shots of Lovenox. My blood had to be within a certain range before the surgeons would do surgery. I would have to go to the clinic and have blood draws prior to each surgery to show range or ratio that I needed to be at. The ratio had to be low. The surgeons need to make sure that your blood is thick enough to withstand surgery. Otherwise if your blood is too thin they can’t stop the bleeding.
