Suggest Remedy To Stop Bleeding Due To Impacted Teeth
I have impacted teeth, both lower. One is already pulled, and it took weeks to fully recover. My orthodentist said that I better have the other one pulled in the hospital, through surgery because my gum is very vulnerable and my bleeding is hard to stop.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Yes many times orthodontic extractions are done in hospital set up by oral surgeons.Need not worry please consult an oral surgeon with your previous records and get the teeth extracted accordingly.In this case a special test for bleeding time, clotting time and prothrombin tet is required.
After complete recovery you can revisit your orthodontist and carry on with your remaining treatement.
Hope it helpss.
Thanks.
