What tests do I need to get done before having my teeth pulled for implant surgery? I'm a bit nervous about the process and want to make sure everything's covered before we start. Are there specific blood tests or scans required to check if I'm a good candidate for implants?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
CBC, blood sugar, clotting profile, and a dental CBCT scan are usually required before implant surgery.

I had a mucocele removed by minor surgery 4 months ago but now there's a red spot left. It doesn't hurt but I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should see a specialist. Which type of doctor is best for checking this? Could it be dangerous if left untreated?
Post-mucocele red spot may be normal scar tissue; if persistent, show to oral surgeon or ENT—low risk, but evaluation helps rule out recurrence.
