Is It Safe to Have My Teeth Removed if I Am on Blood Thinners?
摘要
‘Blood thinners’ do not actually thin the blood. Instead, they prevent it from clotting in an artery, vein, or the heart. There are two main types of blood thinners: antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. Antiplatelet drugs prevent platelets from sticking together and forming a clot, whereas oral anticoagulant drugs prevent the blood from clotting by blocking certain clotting factors.
