Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The outcome depends on the type of von Willebrand disease as well. Before the dental procedure, a prophylactic Desmopressin can be prescribed. A local Tranexamic acid application would also be beneficial after completing one sitting of scaling or other procedures.

I suggest you consult a periodontist for your scaling.

Take care. I hope this information helps.

Thank you.
