Medications to prevent heart attack or stoke from blood clots.

There are some major changes in the way we handle your medications if you are taking this type of medication. We will not be suspending anti-clotting medications nearly as much as we have in the past.

The American Dental Association has a very good article which includes very recent research which I would recommend you discuss with your physician if this pertains to you. There are 2 versions of the newest recommendations at the following website link, one of which is for patients and the other for dental professional. Please read it if you are taking this type of medication.
