Question:
How do you stop a place where tooth was pulled to stop bleeding?
Answers:
A large piece of guaze folded into a square and placed directly on the site, then clamp down the jaw to hold it in place. Then return to the dentist for proper treatment. The site should have a large clot at the jawbone to prevent postoperative bleeding, and if it has been lost you will need to have something else done to control the bleeding and guard against infection. If you do not have guaze, any clean cotton cloth will work, such as a handkerchief or washrag, strip of cotton t-shirt if it comes to it- so long as it is clean. But then you need immediate attention from your dentist.
