How to Deal with Bleeding After Oral Surgery

 
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.
