Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 MJ, My son Tom had gum graft surgery just before being diagnosed (7/04). The periodontist told us to put damp gauze on the wound and apply pressure to it for five minutes. The gauze should be damp so that it doesn't stick to the wound and then pull off skin. He also told us to place a wet tea bag over the wound and apply pressure for five minutes. Tom's bleeding was extreme - he blew out his stitches three times. The periodontist said, " Are there any bleeding or clotting disorders that run in your family? " I said, " No, nothing like that. " His concern eventually led us to the clinic and a CML diagnosis. Thank goodness Tom had the gum graft. Anyway, I would call the periodontist. Tom also wound up having a spot in the roof of his mouth cauterized to stop the bleeding. I hope this helps and that your bleeding stops. Are your platelets low? Barb On May 27, 2005, at 3:06 AM, dlielc wrote: > I awakened to find the gum surgery and graft I had bleeding.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 MJ, You might have loosed a clot when eating or brushing your teeth. If it is only an ooze, and it stops than I would not worry. If it is anything more, call the Dr. dlielc <MJHodor@...> wrote: I awakened to find the gum surgery and graft I had bleeding. Trying to stay calm. Should I call periodontist, dentist?
