Hi! Has anyone been told it would be in their best interest in having a full mouth extraction before their splenectomy? I have some severe deficiencies which make by teeth very brittle.  I have had abscesses without even knowing it as I had no tooth pain or odor. It was caught during annual dental appointments. Their fear is having an abscess after my splenectomy.  I know it’s best to side with caution and follow with their recommendations but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else had the same recommendation. Thank you kindly for your time! I greatly appreciate it!!
