Hi folks!!
When I last saw Dr K. And got a script for an antibiotic for dental cleaning, I was told to be sure to tell the dentist I was on Avastin. I understand avastin has to be stopped before surgery, but what about something like having a tooth pulled or root canal work? Anyone have any experience with that?
Thanks all.
