Abstract
Haemophilia is an inherited haematological disorder that can result in prolonged bleeding in patients. Dental procedures such as extractions and periodontal surgery can be associated with post-operative bleeding; therefore, patients with the diagnosis of haemophilia must have proper medical management. In this article, we aim to illustrate the importance of: having the appropriate knowledge to manage a patient with haemophilia suspected by the dental team; the need for proper medical management; and referral of patients with symptoms of a bleeding disorder.
