The gauze is there to soak up the excess blood. Basically you only have to keep the gauze in until the bleeding stops - however, you may find it will stop bleeding than may start back up this is normal. If you find excessive bleeding you must have it checked.

You should keep changing it until you stop bleeding heavy(the gauze will turn a much lighter shade of pink) or until your dentist tells you to. Everyone is different though. For my top wisdom teeth I bled for 2-3 hours after they were extracted. If the bleeding doesn't stop in a timely manner I would get in touch with or dentist or a doctor right away.
