Question: 2 molar extractions this morning, blood clots formed but still bleeding loads?
Hey on one of the extraction sites the blood won't stop pouring out. He never put a gauze in it just gave me some tissue but that was used up in about 5 minutes lol..there are two huge blood clots that have formed on the gum but it hasn't stopped the bleeding..what can i do to help it stop? the other tooth site is fine it stopped bleeding a while ago. The blood is making me so dizzy and light headed. I don't cope well with it lol please help x

OOZING IS NOT ACTIVE BLEEDING. NOW BITE DOWN (15 MIN) IN PLACE ON A COLD, WET TEA BAG, NOT GAUZE. IT STOPS OOZING
roll up a cold cloth and bite down gently on it, sit down and watch tv or something for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the cloth ,and take the rest of the day easy. If necessary , try it again, and rinse with salt water occasionally.
Def do the cold cloth trick...Bite very lightly though..Light pressure or you could loosen the blood clots or make the blood flow heavier...It should be fine after a while..It should be very cold.
