Also rinse your mouth with Dental Bleach several times

or cheesecloth. Bite down on them till bleeding stops. Continue
ice-packing for 4 hours. As soon as it is safe, return to hot-

blood thinners can be temporarily stopped; and a transfusion
can be given before or immediately afterward. These same pa-
