The gauze pads absorb the blood from the wound after the extraction so that you don't have blood floating around in your mouth, swallowing it or possibly dripping out. Your dentist should have given you several pads to use and you should change the pad when it is saturated with blood.
If the bleeding has stopped, it should be ok to stop using it. If the bleeding continues or gets worse you should call your dentist.
