Do not gargle. You could keep a " wet cotton" from boiled water squeezing all the water off with a clean hand. This can be kept over the socket and pressure given by biting. DO NOT USE DRY COTTON as the fibers of ' dry cotton ' could cause a dry socket . A moist cotton under presure would stop bleeding in about few more mins.

just drink for now, the mouth is very good at healing itself. It won't take long to stop the bleeding.

just lightly put cotton or a napkin on the wound to absorb the blood.

Either gargle with salt water or with milk

gargle with salt water and put a gauze in it to stop the bleeding. If it continues call a doctor!
