Abstract:
Literature is rich on complications related to tooth extraction, which
is a commonly performed oral surgical procedure. It is widely accepted
as one of the simplest procedures when performed in a controlled
environment with due precautions. Often simple procedures in terminology
of doctors and medical professionals are interpreted in a similar manner
or fashion amongst the laymen. This misinterpretation or
misunderstanding usually results in a casual approach towards one’s own
health. Or in other terms, Illiteracy and sparse knowledge about the
controlled environment and complications associated with it in presence
of comorbidities can lead to irreversible complications and may even
sometimes be fatal in nature. For an example, undiagnosed blood
coagulation disorders can really be fatal. The author’s intent is to
bring one such case to focus wherein just mere lack of knowledge and
casual approach towards one’s own health having undiagnosed underlying
blood coagulation disorder led to catastrophic sequence of events,
leaving behind a cautionary learning tale from a loss of life.
