Bleeding due to extraction?!
Question: Bleeding due to extraction!?
I had a wisdom tooth pulled yesterday!. I was given gauze, and was told to bite down on it for 30 minuntes, or until bleeding stopped!. Which it did!. I rinsed my mouth after 24 hours, as told with salt water and this started it bleeding again!. I have soaked through several gauzes now with blood, and cannot get the bleeding to stop!. What should I do!? I called the Dentists office, and told me to stop rinsing, keep gauze in my mouth, and if no better by tomorrow, to go back and see them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

FYI,
bleeding isn't the same as OOZING!.
Place a cold wet tea bag over the oozing site and gently bite on it for 20 minutes w/o taking it off to look!. Don't use dry gauze over this again!.
Some oozing is expected after extraction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it probably seems like alot more blood then it is because it mixes with saliva!. wet a teabag and bite down on it-this will help the clot to form-Make sure you are not smoking, drinking from a straw, etc!. I am surprised your dentist office would not tell us this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
