Answers:
It's not unusual to have a tiny bit of bleeding happen when you start eating again!. If you have sutures in place, there's no worry really!. If you don't, then you want to get it under control quick!. You can do that with guaze, if you have any left!. Just fold it to the right size, and chomp down on it like you did before!. Keep that in place for a good while, and give the dentist a call!. You may have lost your clot at the extraction site, which puts you at higher risk to develop a dry socket!. You can also just wait it out and see what happens!. A little bit of bleeding can happen and not mean much at all!. Just stick with liquids for today, and don't try actually eating anything you have to chew at all!. You can also chomp on a warm, wet teabag!. I suggest making a few cups of tea with it first, so you don't gag on overly strong tea while doing it though!. The tannic acid will help with the healing and bleeding, and is some insurance against a dry socket!. If you start getting an ache in the jawline under the extraction site, one that the pain meds don't touch, that's a sign of dry socket, and you need to see the dentist again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ur mouth will taste liek blood for a few days and smell like it! But if the blood is the same as the day u got them removed then yes u should be concerned! If its just like a lil' oozing then ur okay and should bite down steadily for a bit!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
