Neutropenia, Graves Disease

Hello all, I'm not sure if everyone is familiar with my story but I have neutropenia and graves disease. I need to get my wisdom tooth extracted because I have avoided it long enough. When I first tried to get my wisdom pulled the dental surgeon realized that my wisdom tooth was in my nerve and that i would suffer damage if pulled. I was told to prolong it as much as I could however, I get horrible migraines (I've suffered from migraines since 13) and I need my tooth taken out. My question is will it be to dangerous to get my wisdom tooth pulled being that I have neutropenia? Thank you

That is something you need to discuss with your doctor and your dental surgeon.

After a quick read on Neutropenia I would say having a tooth pulled carries more risk for you than for me, but I don't know if anti-biotics would remove that risk or not.
