How does someone thicken the blood to prevent over bleeding from to tooth removal?

You don't: Heavy bleeding after an extraction is a sign that you'd do well to be checked for underlying illness, such as mood von Willebrand's.

You don't: Changing your blood chemistry can be extremely harmful. The General Dentist or Specialist Oral Surgeon who does the extraction will manage bleeding at the extraction site. Make sure to inform the Dentist or Oral Surgeon about all prescription medications/OTC meds/vitamins/supplements that you take, as well as any and all systemic problems, as these can affect clot formation.

Thick blood: Bleeding from an extraction site would be the least of your problems. I would be more concerned about blood clots, a stroke, and death if your blood were thickened. Let your dentist manage your extraction.
