3. "aspirin has no effect on the surgical procedure and may minimize discomfort."

The correct answer is 4. "Dental surgery can safely be done usually 10 days after stopping the aspirin, depending on the health care provider's (HCP) preference."

Aspirin is a common medicine used to treat multiple conditions including pain and inflammation, also, it is common this is used to prevent certain heart diseases and heart attacks. Despite this, as an adverse effect aspirin might lead to excessive bleeding especially after operations which can last up to 10 days. This means, aspirin should be avoided at least 10 days before surgery, according to this, the most appropriate statement, in this case, is "Dental surgery can safely be done usually 10 days after stopping the aspirin, depending on the health care provider's (HCP) preference" as this is the only statement that considers the risk of excessive bleeding aspirin can cause.
