I underwent scaling and root planing earlier this week. I had no
problems until yesterday around noon when I started bleeding from the
gums uncontrollably. I kept thinking it would be better and it never
did so I ended up staying up all night with a constant drip of blood
from my gums. I went into the Dentist the first thing this morning
where they gave me a few shots to stop the blood which worked.

Now I'm worried about stopping it from happening again. I took several
ibuprophen which I understand thins the blood somewhat, and I also
just read that omega 3 fatty acids thin the blood which I take in
capsule form daily. So I'm guessing my blood was just unusually thin
and would not clot.

Are there any suggestions on things absolutely not to do? How long
does it take to fully heal after the procedure.. how long should I
wait to take asprin or drink alcohol or do anything else that will
thin the blood?
