Some
bleeding is to be expected after Vancouver oral surgery. Your dentist
from Ace Dental Centre will put a gauze on the surgical area and
apply a bit of pressure there to control bleeding. When the Oral
Surgery in Vancouver
is done properly, the bleeding shouldn’t be too much. Your body
will also start producing a clot to protect that wound from external
factors like bacteria.
However,
if you do experience bleeding and it is starting to concern you,
don’t hesitate to go back to your dentist. Complications might have
happened, which has caused the bleeding.
Before
the surgery, your dentist might prescribe medications that can help
control bleeding. You might need to take these medications,
especially if you are prone to excessive bleeding or you have
conditions like anemia where blood loss can affect you.
At
home, you need to treat the area carefully to stop bleeding and allow
your body to form a clot. Make sure you don’t eat foods that are
too hot as they can surely exacerbate the bleeding. If you are going
to eat soft foods and soups, make sure you cool them down a little
bit first before eating them.
Replace
the gauze as needed. Try to avoid jostling that area so that the
clotting won’t be disturbed. You can elevate the upper portion of
the bed in order to minimize bleeding. When your upper body is higher
than your heat, excess bleeding won’t happen.
Just
don’t get nervous when you see a little bit of blood. Allow your
body to recover. After a few hours, the bleeding should be gone.
