Dental Treatment During Ramadan

Question
If I undergo orthodontic treatment during the day in Ramadan, and blood comes out from the tooth or gum during the treatment, does this break the fast or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Such a thing does not invalidate the fast, except if something from blood or medicine enters the stomach, as that invalidates the fast, and it is required to complete the fast of that day and make up for it later. And God knows best.
