Yes, it's normal to have some bleeding,but it shuold have slowed by now!. Take your pain meds, or if you don't want that strong of a med, try ibuprofen!., then pack some cotton over the bleeding area; change the cotton every 3-4 hours, or as it gets full!. If it's still bleeding heavily in the AM, call your dentist!. I've also heard tea bags help with bleeding!.
If you're worried, get help sooner just for safety and peace of mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
