So I've been doing well staying off WebMD and Healthline... but today I had a dental question that I asked on Yahoo answers and now my anxiety is sky high because someone said that having a dental cleaning could cause blood clots! And blood clots are my biggest fear.
I was only asking if I need to take antibiotics before a dental cleaning because I recently found out I have a very mild tricuspid valve regurgitation. I guess I got more information than I needed... now I'm freaking out because I flossed my teeth and my gums bled a bit and now I'm worried about what she said... she said that when you get dental cleaning it can cut your gums and plaque can enter your bloodstream and blood forms around the plaque and turns into a blood clot. Uuuuuuugh. I was doing so well too staying of GOOGLE. Now I can't settle my anxiety thinking plaque entered through my bleeding gums and now I have a blood clot waiting to kill me. And now I'm scared to floss !
