The timing for dental extractions after a myocardial infarction (heart attack) typically depends on the patient's stability and the type of cardiac event. Generally, it is recommended to wait at least six months post-infarction before performing elective dental procedures, including tooth extractions, to allow for stabilization and recovery. However, in emergency situations, a thorough evaluation of the patient's overall health and consultation with their cardiologist is essential to determine the safest course of action. Always prioritize patient safety and follow established medical guidelines.

What about wisdom tooth extraction?
During this type of extraction, an oral surgeon will cut into the gum line to expose the tooth, from which point the extraction is performed much in the same way as a simple tooth extraction.
What can happen when the heart muscle does not get enough blood?
Myocardial ischemia results from the temporary lack of oxygen; if ischemia is prolonged, it could result in permanent damage to the heart muscle. This condition is called myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack.ischemia
What happens if food gets into a tooth extraction hole?

When a wisdom tooth is extracted, the anesthesia may take time to wear out. This is why someone may feel drowsy hours after the extraction. It is a good idea to just take a short nap.
Why do you think a doctor has to test if a patient is a bleeder before a tooth extraction or before surgical operation?
Doctor has to test that if patient is bleeder before tooth extraction. Otherwise there may be continuous bleeding from the tooth extraction site or operation. Which may lead to serious consequences if left untreated. It is very easy to test the bleeding and clotting time. It is a bed side test.
How myocardial infarction occurs?
Myocardial infarction happens when no enough oxygen is coming to the myocytes(muscle cells of the heart) via the coronary artery(which supplies the heart itself with blood). Its caused mainly by occlusion in the artery by an atherosclerotic plaque(imagine it as an obstacle which prevents sufficient blood to reach the area which needs blood).. So when this obstacle is big enough to reduce progressivly oxygen supply to that area of the heart(because this plaque gets bigger by time and when no therapy and managment is done).. Muscle dies and infarction happens.( shortly because of the death of myocytes)
How is ESR affected by myocardial infarction?
The ESR (or sedimentation rate) is a marker for acute inflammation. In the case of a myocardial infarction it is typically elevated within 3 days of the infarction and may remain elevated for weeks after.

What is the diagnostic procedure for myocardiac infarction?
The myocardium is the muscle of the heart, so myocardial inflammation would be swelling of this tissue, for instance. A myocardial infarction is also known as a heart attack, where blood flow is blocked to the myocardium. The type of heart attack would depend on what abnormalities were found on EKG (ie: ST elevation=ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, or STEMI).
