Slight blood oozing after wisdom tooth
Yesterday I had two wisdom teeth removed. The lower left 3rd molar was removed surgically and upper left 3rd molar was extracted as whole by pulling. Doctor stitched the lower surgical site but only placed gauge in upper site. I am on antibiotics, and pain medications. It's over 20 hours but still some blood is oozing from upper extraction site. I used 2-3 times cold cotton gauge for 1 hour each to minimize bleeding. Before surgery the Bleeding, clotting time are 2.45 min and 4.5 min
