Screwed for your Teeth

By Dr Killpatient | Filed in Downer, Lessons and Such

God, some people can’t catch a break. You crack your tooth, and because you are on Coumadin for a-fib you’re told to stop it for two days before the procedure to fix the broken tooth. The procedure goes fine with no significant bleeding.
