Teeth and TX

I have gotten a wisdomtooth that grew out wrong so it's gnawing in my jaw. I am going to the dentist tomorrow, and probably he wants to pull it out. The problem is that I have had lots of trouble with my gums during TX. Have to use lots of time on dental hygiene not for it to start swelling. My platelets are at about 50 and the white bloodcells at about 2.3. My worrie is that if he pull my tooth bacteries will have a place to grow and I will go from ash to fire. My last shot is firstcoming friday. Should I just deal with the pain for a couple of weeks before I get it pulled??

I would talk to your treating doctor and your dentist and make sure they both know your numbers.  In fact, it would be great if they would coordinate with each other on this so they both can decide which course of action would be best for you (do it now or do it a little later).

Yeah, I could always hope my dr. is present tomorrow. Got the appointment so fast since the dentist always do me last in a day, due to "contagiousness", and my dr. is usually reachable only on Wednesdays and Thursdays...
