Is Tooth Extraction Safe When The Creatinine Level Is 1.47?

Hi, I am 65 year old with radical right nephrectomy in 2012. Today, I was scheduled for 4 tooth extractions, however, my dentist turned down as my creatinine was 1.47 today and he needs a consent from my treating urologist who is abroad now and not recheable. Can you please suggest if I can go ahead with the extractions. I am not taking any regular medications now.

Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to go for tooth extraction with creatinine level 1.47. Normal creatitine level is 0.5-
1.4 mg/dl and you can go ahead with extraction. I would suggest you to go ahead with one by one tooth extraction rather than having it at a once as it can lead to excessive tissue laceration and could be complicating as well. Chances of healing are impaired in that case. Need not to worry. You should visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and get it examined and start treatment accordingly. It would be better if consult from urologist is there as he/she is aware of whole situation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
