Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2007PLEASE HELP! Oral Surgery in 10 days; been taking megadoses of Vitamin E.
Hi. Looking for some feedback from some Oral Surgeon/Dentists. I am going to have 9 teeth, some just the roots, out in 10 days. I have been taking 2000-4000 IU Vitamin E, 120,000 Vit A and 9,000 Vit D for about 3 weeks along with 40-50 mg Zinc Longezes (Cold Ezze). I was on anti-biotics for 3 weeks and still had symptoms of the infection. Now the infection is almost totally gone only with some pain. I also am taking Percocet 7.5/500- 4a day, Xanax-1.5mg, Prozac-40 mg, Hydrocortisone 20-30 mg per day and Thyroid hormone T3 50 mcg per day. Also I take 5 grams of Vitamin C per day and a multivitamin with 25 mcg Vitamin K. I also drink green tea which has Vitamin K. My question is do I need to postpone the surgery because of excessive bleeding from too much Vitamin E? The research I did was 20,000 - 50,000 of Vitamin E needs to be taken for hemmorage toxicity to happen. Is this correct? I will be telling my Oral Surgon on Monday. 200-500mg/kg was where the toxic level begins. Thanks for your input. > Hi. Looking for some feedback from some Oral Surgeon/Dentists.

You are right to notify your surgeon. If there is any doubt, a simple blood test should tell you if it's safe to have the procedure done.

I am going to see my arthritis doc and they do blood tests there at his office. I could have him do the test.

I recently cut down on that as the infection is gone and use ginger for upset stomach. I did have some blood work done when the infection was there but not many symptoms yet. Sedimintation rate of 20 with Plattets of around 400. My Gamma Globulin was high as well as my protein count probably due to the chronic infection in my mouth. Would appreciate any advice like what other tests. the blood tests were done at the end of April. Thanks. >> On Jun 10, 7:34 am, Steven Bornfeld <dentaltwinm...@earthlink.net> >> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > were done at the end of April. > Thanks. I'm not a surgeon, so I'm not precisely sure what may be needed. Certainly they don't want you to bleed seriously--that would be my main concern. Steve IOW's, a blood test can measure the clotting time. :-) D > I'm not a surgeon, so I'm not precisely sure what may be needed. > Certainly they don't want you to bleed seriously--that would be my main > concern. > > Steve |
