I stay on warfarin with regular INR monitoring.

According to my doctor the new drugs are not suitable for me.

At the same time, I have a scheduled appointment with my dentist in 2 weeks from now, for my regular teeth cleaning. 

How should I manage my anticoagulation drug?

Since my INR is usually in the recommended range, I should just carry on with my warfarin use as usual
Follow cardiologist’s advice and repeat an INR measurement one or two days before my appointment with the dentist.
Discuss with my dentist at my appointment for the best way to manage my warfarin scheme
Skip a couple of doses, as I have never had a thrombotic episode and this will make it easier for my dentist to clean my teeth
