My six year old needs to get 2 baby teeth pulled. He has a cold and cough, and is taking medication...??
Question: ...would it be unsafe for him to have his teeth pulled now, since the dentist would be administering anaesthesia, and he's on cough and cold medication? Should we wait til he's better? Thanks.
Answers: It would probably be best to reschedule your child's appointment. Since your child already isn't feeling well, the last thing you want to do is add more discomfort. It would be best for everyone to do it at a time when he/she is feeling better again. Atleast that would be our recommendation at our office.
Yes, anytime someone has an upper respiratory infection/ cough/cold and are planned for anesthesia the procedure should be delayed, unless it is an urgency.
