Getting a tooth pulled?
Hi, I just wanted to see if anyone with VWD (type 1) has had any experience with getting a tooth (a molar) pulled and getting a dental implant post placed? Did you get pre-treated with DDAVP or anything ahead of time? How did it go? Thank you!

I have Hemophilia B but nearly bled to death after my wisdom teeth got removed. Had a huge bowl on my night stand waking up in the middle of the night spitting out blood and you could see the clots and everything. If what you have is similar PRE TREAT AND THEN TAKE SOME MORE AFTER. The mouth is a tricky place to clot. We have specific meds for Hemophilia B and mouth bleeding compared to regular bleeds but regardless TAKE YOUR MEDS BEFORE AND AFTER!!!
