Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

You can stop the use of aspirin before surgery by consulting your Physician, as using this there could be chances of more bleeding as soon as dental extraction is done you can again continue with the medications.
A course of antibiotics and analgesics is prescribed before the procedure.

Take care!
