Is there a risk in tooth extraction for patients with heart stents?

Tooth extraction carries risks for patients with cardiac stents. During the procedure, anesthesia is required, and anesthetic drugs may stimulate the heart, potentially causing symptoms such as palpitations and anxiety. Tooth extraction can cause some degree of pain; if the patient becomes overly anxious during this period, myocardial oxygen consumption may increase, possibly triggering angina or other complications. Before undergoing tooth extraction, patients should inform their dentist about their medical history and any medications they are currently taking, so that an appropriate treatment plan can be established.
