Question
Hello doctor,
I have tooth decay, my tooth has a rather large hole in the middle and it swells up like a piece of meat in the middle. I had a slight impact on that part and it was bleeding quite a lot, it took a long time about 20 minutes to stop the bleeding. May I ask what is the situation like and is it dangerous to have a bleeding tooth extracted? Thank you

Hello,
With the question "Is it dangerous to pull out a bleeding tooth? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
As you described, your tooth is quite large, the gum inside is enlarged, so then its gums are enlarged inside the floor of the pulp chamber. The condition of your teeth to be kept or to be extracted should be checked under X-ray images. When extracting teeth, if your hemostasis function is normal, then extraction will still stop bleeding.
After tooth extraction, bleeding gums is inevitable. Depending on the bleeding time, it can be assessed as normal. If the bleeding continues to be heavy in the first 24 hours after tooth extraction, you need to see a dentist for advice and treatment. You can go to the medical facilities in the Vinmec system to be examined, examined and treated by a dental specialist.
If you still have questions about tooth extraction and bleeding, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
