I have an eye tooth that will need to come out, but I have a problem with
extractions.
Normal situation is my dentist makes sure most if not all bleeding has
stopped before I leave the chair, and he gives me something to bite on.
My problem is that even if I hold the bite, when I remove the pad the
bleeding occasionally restarts and I then feel faint. I have this fear that
any cut or graze on my body will not stop bleeding.
Is their something the dentist can do to ensure the bleeding has stopped
while I'm in his surgery. Or is their a preparation that I could apply
myself ?
If there isn't anything available is this because theres a medical reason ?
Thanks.

I'm not a dentist, so my thoughts are worth about what you
paid for them.
First, one time I had a tooth out, the dentist stitched the
opening with a suture. Seemed to help.
We have a couple dentists who read and post, their advice
will be much better than mine.
Please consider asking for an early morning appointment.
Bring a book to read, and sit in the waiting room (within
sight of the reception desk) for an hour or so after the
extraction. That way, if you feel faint, you won't be
driving. And will be within sight of medical people.
A typical adult has plenty of blood. The Red Cross takes an
entire pint. A drippy tooth socket, that's miserable for
sure. But you should have a couple hours to get it fixed
before your blood level falls dangerously. Of course,
telling you that doesn't help much. Phobias don't respond to
reason.

Do you have a bleeding disorder or take anticoagulants? |
