Is It Safe To Have Tooth Extraction While Having UTI?
I am scheduled to have a wisdom tooth extracted tomorrow. I just found out I have a UTI but am not on any antibiotics yet. Is it okay to have the extraction? I also have progressive MS so my immune system is compromised. I am a female and 64 years old. Thank you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
You can get your teeth extracted after consulting and taking opinion from the general physician. You have to take a prophylactic antibiotics. UTI will have nothing to do with extraction. consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. You can start with antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg tid for 5 days( if you are not allergic)
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
