I have an ongoing bleeding problem. I'm on aspirin, Plavix and Warfarin due to vascular problems. Friday I had two lower front teeth removed and had two stitches put in. My INR the day of surgery was 1.1 and should have not caused any more bleeding than anyone else and while I did well the first day it just got worse. I had stopped the Warfarin five days prior to surgery and went on Lovenox per my vascular doctor and am still taking the shots.
I woke up Saturday morning early with a lemon size blood spot on my shirt and spots on the pillow. I looked in the mirror and my upper and lower teeth looked like they were sprayed with dark red paint and there were blood clots. I rinsed good with salt water and put a tea bag on the area for about 20 minutes and inserted my partial. No further problems until later that day when the bleeding started back some.
Last night 30 minutes before bed I put a tea bag in for about 20 minutes and went on to bed. Three hours later woke up with blood again on the pillow the size of the end of an apple and teeth were dark red with clots again. I don't know what else to do and the oral surgeon's office is closed today.
I was afraid of doing this to begin with and my fears were not unfounded-it's happened before but my INR was higher at 2.2 the day I had my last extraction. I worry about bleeding too much since I've gotten little help from the dentist on what to do. His suggestion was see the oral surgeon who's not there today.
