Suggest Treatment For Excessive Bleeding From Gums After A Dental Surgery
Question: My wife had dental surgury today and has much bleeding . What can I do to reduce the bleeding from the gums ?
Brief Answer:
dislodged clot, moist cotton, sutures
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the bleeding from gums is concerned, it can be because of the dislodged clot secondary to vigorous gargling following the surgery. The other possible cause can be because of the vigorous movements involving the operated site.
Do not panic. You can keep a moist squeezed cotton (dipped in saline) and press it over the bleeding site for 30 min. If that doesn't stopping bleeding, you need to consult a oral physician and get it evaluated for further suturing.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any more queries let me know.
Take care.
