Is it ok to take ibuprofen an hour before/after a dental procedure?

Like before a root canal, cavity fillings, etc. It wouldn't be any complications or anything, would it?

Is it ok to take ibuprofen an hour before/after a dental procedure?
Ask your dentist, a licensed medical practitioner, not a roomful of laypeople. We don't know your history, have any information on a blood workup, know anything about the procedure to be done... This time, ask the people who really know...
Reply:yeah, I don't see why not.....I just took 4 ibuprofen, and 2 acetomenophin...they aren't made of the same thing, so it's ok to take them, I would say call your dentist office and ask....
Reply:Check with your dentist. Ibuprofen can cause stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach. It can reduce the ability of blood to clot and therefore increase bleeding after an injury.
Reply:IF YOU CAN SAFELY TAKE IT, THEN BEFORE IS BETTER THAN AFTER THE PROCEDURE.
Reply:do not take ibuprofen or aspirin before a dental visit. even though ibuprofen is not aspirin,it can have bleeding tendencies. also-coumadin and other blood thinning products should be avoided at least 3 days prior to dental visit. with your docs permission,of course.
