title: I take a blood thinner daily. Before year's end, I'm scheduled to have a couple of teeth pulled. My dentist wants me to stop my medicine a day or two beforehand so that there won't be too much bleeding, but a friend says her doctor told her not to stop the medication ahead of time. I'm confused.
