What Causes Severe Bleeding In Gums During Dental Treatment?

Hi, my eight year old daughter (who also has hypotonia along with right-side weekness) had dental work done two weeks ago. The site would not stop bleeding. There was a pretty good flow, and the dentist was perplexed and did x-rays etc but could not find the cause of the bleeding. It was finally stopped with a coagulent given by the dentist 24 hrs later. That night she had a bad nose bleed. I've been seeing tiny red pinpoints under the skin, but maybe only one or two, Now she appears to have an itchy rash on her stomach. She has a well-visit scheduled for the end of the month. How concerned should I be? If these symptoms were indicative of something serious, wouldn't she be "sicker"? Other than extreme periods of crankiness which seem to fade she seems fine. Thanks for your attention. gh

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

If the bleeding has stooped completely after application of anticoagulant then you need not to worry, just maintain a good oral hygiene, itchiness could be due to allergy dont worry it will subside after some times by its own, you just follow the post surgical instructions given to her properly and maintain a good oral hygiene.


Take care!
