I had a saliva stone surgery last week. I have two cracked teeth now. I have been on antibotics for 14 days, Can I have dental work done without taking lovinox shots? I had an epidural for my neck four weeks ago and had to take lovinox and stop the coumadin for four days. It is so expensive and if not necessary I would hope I could have the work done on my teeth without it.I would still be on antibotics. Thanks M.
