If your wisdom teeth were pulled will salt stop your gums from bleeding?

You have to wash your mouth out with salt water (about half a tea spoon in a glass of water I think), don't gargle with it - move your head gently from side to side to move the water around your mouth, lean over the sink and let the salt water fall out. Do NOT spit, especially in the first day or so after the extraction.
Personally, I found it disgusting and used an ALCOHOL FREE mouthwash (find one that's good for gum disease) after trying salt water in the first 2 days. Do NOT drink the salt water (as the previous answer stated) - salt water is an emetic and will make you sick
