Question:
Wisdom tooth extraction bleeding day 5! Please help.?
I had my wisdom teeth extracted five days ago and everything went perfect! No pain, minimal bleeding and swelling. My bottom were impacted and under the gum line growing horizontal.
While brushing/rinsing tonight I took a flash light to see how everything is holding up and to my shock there was blooding coming out of one of the bottom wisdom teeth! No pain just bleeding that stopped in 10/15 minutes. There are stitches, or at least one over the site.
After five days I felt I was going to escape this entire thing pain free and free of dry socket and now I am worried as hell. Did I mess up the blood clot? Is that why is it bleeding? Will I delay healing?
I'm just so worried right now. I go in Thursday for the check up but tomorrow (Wednesday) they are closed so I can't even call and ask. Please someone advise. Biggest fear I have no is developing dry socket on that side.
By the way I haven't smoked, sucked through a straw or anything like that.

Don't panic its normal to have some bleeding from the capillaries - if its gushing and you are having to spit out masses of blood them I would worry.
