Bleeding usually stops within the first half an hour but a little oozing continues up to 3-4 hours. The saliva in your mouth can look bloody and make it look like excessive bleeding. Make sure you don’t spit out the blood or saliva at all and no gargling either. When a tooth is removed, the bleeding creates a blood clot which is important for healing. Spitting and gargling can remove that clot and delay healing. If you feel what you’re experiencing is more than ooze then it is better to see a dentist today.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist in case of excessive bleeding. In case of ooze, rest, apply ice on the cheek from outside, no spitting or gargling or using a straw and soft, room temperature foods for a couple of days.
Health Tips
A paracetamol every 6-8 hours should help with any pain and swelling.
