Periodontal Procedures
Periodontal health is of critical importance in patients
with bleeding disorders3
as inflamed and hyperemic
gingival tissues are at increased risk of bleeding.
Periodontitis may cause tooth mobility and warrant extraction,
which may be a complicated procedure in these
patients. Patients with coagulopathies may neglect their
oral health due to fear of bleeding during tooth brushing
and flossing, which leads to increased gingivitis, periodontitis
and caries.
