Its okay... There will be a lot of blood because it was probably a big tooth with big roots that came out. If it still does not stop within a few hours, go talk to your parents or go see a walk-in clinic. Generally, just ask him to "bite" on a towel or tissue paper to put pressure on the open hole (where the tooth fell out). It might hurt but pressure will help make the blood coagulate faster and stop the bleeding faster.
Good luck =)
It will eventually stop. But if it doesnt, clearly you need to go to the hospital.
put pressue where its bleeding till it stops
Put some salt in a glass of water and tell him to gargle it and swish it through his mouth. It should help a bit with the bleeding
Ice.
Call your local dentist and ask him/her what you should do.
Listen! Take a Napkin/something/ and just stick it where his tooth came out and KEEP IT THERE!!!!
put a lot of pressure on it
Put a wash cloth on it you fool!
wow maybe you should take him to the doctor!!! when all of my teeth fell out, the stopped bleeding right away!
have him bite down on a towel for 30-60 minutes
put presure to it
take him to a doctor i have a son of 12 i wouldn't leave him bleeding that long
use a papper towel and apply pressure to the gum.
good luck.
try water and salt mixed let him rinse his mouth a few times and then spit it out! i did it for me and it worked! hope this works for u!!!
Have him gargle some salt water. It may sting, but the bleeding will eventually stop.
It'll stop soon im sure but if it doesn't clearly its time for the hospital.
I'm sure that it will stop after a bit longer. Just take a bit of toilet paper or something that you can wad up and apply pressure. If it doesn't stop after a few more hours you might want to look into calling a doctor. I'm sure he'll be fine.
Try rinsing with warm water and salt, then stuff a piece of gauze over the hole.
Call the ER & ask their opinion..they might think he needs to come in, maybe not the whole tooth came out and its infected...either way he probably needs to see a dentist monday!
your on the computer??
apply direct pressure! apply direct pressure!
put pessuer on it for a while
Put ice on it. This might work a bit better... Soak a cloth in ice water and have him put it in his mouth and bite down on it. Hold pressure on the spot where his tooth was.
That should do it.
The reason its bleeding so much is because its in the mouth... where its WARM! Blood flows much faster and easier with heat. He needs to keep the area very cold in order for it to clot up.
If bleeding still persists and doesn't slow, consult a doctor.
Best of luck
give him really cold water so it will freeze the skin and the bleeding should stop and then give him some tissue to put in his mouth. If it still doesnt stop bleeding, should go to the doctor to seek for further instructions
apply pressure to it, it will stop eventually. get him to swill his mouth with salt water too. is there ALOT of blood? If it hasnt stopped in 2 hours see someone.
is it a stubborn tooth (a tooth that took a really long time to fall out)?if it is, then it probbaly nipped somthin in the blood and flesh like a vessel or somthin
try packing gauze very tightly around the area for 30 minutes at a time where the tooth fell out, it takes a while to clot a mouth "wound".
if its gushing you should go to the hospital, does he have a condition that doesnt let his wounds heal properly or somethin?
if its just staining a towel, then you should worry about it maybe the gums were tender and he damged a bloodvessel, i think it will stop for sure.
apply pressure.
Try getting him to eat some kind of green leafy vegetable, this contains vitamin K which is responsible for clotting, know it will be hard to eat while bleeding in the mouth, but if it doesn't quit this should help..
well.. pressure, salt water all help.. but an hour?? thats a little too long. id wait it out a little while more and if it doesnt stop call the dentist..
If a wound bleeds longer than 10 minutes it requires medical attention. If it is only a few drops, he will live put some gauze or a cotton ball on it. However, if blood flows like from a cut go to a doctor.
