It can: However avoid spitting, use of straws or smoking for a few days. Also applying pressure over the extraction sites using gauze will stop the bleeding. If you follow these instructions your blood clots will be intact and you should not bleed.

Estradiol: One of the benefits of Estradiol is it's ability to help prevent osteoporosis. The same mechanism that helps with preserving bone may be of benefit with the healing of your extraction site.
