Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have von Willebrand disease. My current health concern is that I need to get a scaling of my teeth done. What precautions should I take while scaling to prevent the loss of blood?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The outcome depends on the type of von Willebrand disease as well. Before the dental procedure, a prophylactic Desmopressin can be prescribed. A local Tranexamic acid application would also be beneficial after completing one sitting of scaling or other procedures.
I suggest you consult a periodontist for your scaling.
Take care. I hope this information helps.
