Sutures aren't compulsory . It is the surgeon who decides . Regarding bleeding its normal to have a little taste of blood , if there is pooling of fresh blood contact the surgeon .

well if its a normal removal of wisdom tooth, no sutures are required. as far as bleeding is concerned, dont rinse or spit for next 24 hrs. take ice cream. still if some bleeding is there , u can show your dentist before his office closes in evening or tomorrow morning.
