Answers:
Haha funny you ask this!. I recently have 3 wisdom teeth removed and an abscess removed like a month ago!. If the bleeding has stopped or is minimal then you can remove the gauze!.!.!.other wise leave them in for a little longer!. Don't swish for 24 hours and DO NOT use mouth wash!.!.!.its too strong for open sores!. Use a hot water and sea salt rinse three times a day and after your mouth is feeling better use the sea salt water to remove food that gets stuck in your tooth hole!. The pain should stop in about a week!. Don't take too many pain killers like vicodin !.!.!. if you do you may get constipated and we don't want that lol!. Also, don't brush your teeth till tomorrow!. I recommend a cold pack for 15 mins on and 15 off!. After about 2 or 3 days take ibuprofen for pain and swelling!. This will help the pain and wont cause you any bowel discomfort!. If it begins to bleed a few days later that's fine as long as it isn't gushing!. Also, no straws, no smoking!.!.!.pretty much no sucking action for a while!. Good luck and feel better!
p!.s!. - do not take asprin! This will thin your blood and will make the healing process harder and make not let you clot!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I thought that you can stop biting the gauze when the bleeding stops!?
Everyone is different, some people suffer for a day or two, and others for about 1 week!. Take pain medication, and if tylenol or advil don't work, try something with codeine!. But don't overdo it, cuz it causes constipation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the bleeding has stopped then you can stop biting on the gauze!. The pain will last for a few days!. Reminders: do not swish your mouth out, this could release the blood clots causing dry socket which trust me is HERENDOUS!!! Eat soft food for next couple of days!. DO NOT DRINK THROUGH A STRAW, DO NOT SMOKE!.

it should stop bleeding within a few hours!. make sure you rinse gently with salt water as well!. don't use a straw to drink either, you can make it worse!. as for the pain, everybody is different!. did the dentist give you anything for pain!? if not, take some advil or tylenol, and try a warm compress against your jaw if it helps!. take a long nap if you can, it should feel better by time you wake up!Www@Answer-Health@Com
i would say you can get it off now and drink cold water it will help with the swelling and eat some broth and rinse with half mixture of water and mouthwash Www@Answer-Health@Com
