This coming monday morning I will have all upper teeth pull and will put the false teeth at the same time. I wonder should I take the lipitor that nite before the surgery? Let me know. Thanks, pat980

pat980,
Do you take it regularly?
I took a quick look through drug information book for dentistry and there are no known complications associated with Lipitor (Atorvastatin).If you do decide to take it, I would encourage you to tell your dental professional that you DID take that medication prior to the procedure.

Hope this helps. :)

Pat,
It is normal to be nervous about such things. Just remember to ask questions if you are unsure about something, and ask for more anesthesia if you feel some discomfort. Best of luck to you. :)
