Anemia and dental injections

[Dansdoll511]

Sorry for all the questions. Not sure where else to get them answered Can anemia prolong the numbness of dental injections since there is less blood flow to the area?? Just curious

No. It doesn't affect the volume of fluid, it's the amount of red blood cells in the blood that's reduced.

In my case it does I think because hospital says I have a 30 percent blood loss in 4 days and it takes a week or so for the fluids to catch up.
