My acquaintance dialysis patient is in dire straights right now, basically he in a clusterfuck of a situation because of his teeth. Now several of my co-patients wants to get some of their pulled-out too maybe fearing what happened to our co-patient which is suffering from a dental infection. He is in agony and having lost so much sleep now is now affecting his brain because he can't sleep because of the pain.
Now why they can't go to the dentist and have it pulled? The thing is that he has to undergo and accomplish some laboratory test like chest x-ray for I don't know reason, complete blood count test (CBC) to see if he is anemic and needs it to be corrected first because for certain the dentist needs the dialysis patient to have at least close to normal CBC because the patient will bleed and make it hard for them to recover.
Then there is also this blood test for the clotting time, the "prothrombin time test" or something like that to see if you will be able to stop the bleeding normally. I passed all the tests which is why I was able to proceed to my tooth extractions.
So it is not that simple like in the old days where you can just drop by the dentist's clinic have your needs attended to, now you have to get an appointment made complicated by having to furnish some medical test before proceeding, so if you already have an aching tooth then it will give you a much trouble than you would expect.
This co-patient of mine has a blood pressure issue, it is down but at least he can undergo dialysis treatment. Then aside from a very painful tooth that is plaguing him for more than two weeks now, his blood platelets are low which means that he is at risk of severe bleeding if he is planning for getting that evil tooth of his pulled-out in which the dentist will not if he is still some blood complications.
I am assuming that his low platelet count is caused by the tooth infection which is why I do think it will not get resolved until the platelet issue is resolved in which the cause was the dead tooth still stuck in his mouth.
This kind of clusterfuck situation is what I am avoiding which is why I am set to get my 4 to five teeth to get pulled as well aside for the filling job just for me to be free from the risk of having an infected tooth that can't be pulled by a regular dentist because of some complication in the blood in which the solution was to extract the tooth in the first place.
You might ask why my teeth had rotted extensively, the reason was when my face was getting bigger along with my mouth, the teeth had began to part and this leaving gaps. When I was brushing them they bleed so I got frustrated and depressed about it and so I didn't brushed my teeth for a more than a whole year.
I even didn't checked my teeth to see and examine how they looked during those months of not brushing thinking that they will still be well. Tragic mistake and after seeing them again they just rotted. Only two molars or three are in pristine condition while others have a hairline cavities.
Some of my tooth rotted around the base and one broke of from the gum line leaving the other half still embedded in my frontal teeth. The latest was this unsuspecting tooth that actually had rotted inside from its sides and then fell of, so I am relived when it got removed. I still have more to get removed and at least I am able to get a dentist appointment and I will just brave it off until my problem is no more.
