You can roll a sterile gauze piece or alternatively take a tea bag ( put it in boiling water for 2 mins, take it out and allow it to cool down). Then place the rolled gauze piece or the teabag on the site where the extraction has been done and bite on it for 30 mins. This should stop the bleeding. If not, kindly visit the concerned doctor. Hope the answer was helpful.
Next Steps
visit the concerned doctor if the bleeding doesn't stop after pressure application using gauze or teabag

It may bleed slightly for initial 24 hours. You should swallow the blood. Do not spit or gargle. If there is continuous heavy bleeding then visit MD physician as an emergency.
Next Steps
Consult your working dentist.
