Hi Doctor, I am getting my wisdom teeth removed using IV sedation in a couple weeks. I am on birth control pills. I dont recall telling my dentist this - is this something I should notify them of beforehand? I have done some research to find that this can not only increase dry socket chances but also that they can be ineffective after.I normally take it in the morning and my wisdom teeth removal is in the morning - is it okay to take my pill the morning of with a small amount of water?Thanks a lot!
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The wisdom tooth extraction requires prescription of antibiotics and analgesics. The antibiotics can interfere with the birth control pills, so you need to inform your dentist about your Chat Doctor. The birth control pills will be ineffective when you take antibiotics. So that other preventive measures can be taken instead or use of birth control pills. I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
