Factor XI deficiency is a relatively common hereditary coagulation disorder manifested generally as diffuse oozing from a surgical site. Dentists may be the first to discover this deficiency and other coagulopathies after simple tooth extraction. A case is reported which illustrates a typical presentation of this disorder. The need for haemato‐logical examination and special dental care is discussed.
