Re: Dental Work - Thank You

[Guest guest]

,

My daughter is ( 7 years) has other health problems. She's had 10

surgeries.

She had extensive dental surgery in the hospital, when she was 3 years old.

She had work on 14 teeth.

She has silver crowns.

She hemorrhaged from the surgery. Which I have now heard

can be common with such extensive work. But it is preventable.

I fault the hospital for sending her home. They sent her home when

she was still bleeding. I had to take her back hours later and she had

to be put on a clotting medication. If we had to do this again with

her, I would

refuse to go home.

With all of her surgeries, this is the only time she hemorrhaged.

If you are aware of this, then I think you can avoid any serious problems.
