First, apply firm pressure by biting on a folded damp gauze up to twelve hours, changing it only when it is soaked with blood.
Next, soak a teabag in warm water for a few minutes and bite on the teabag. The tannic acid in tea is a natural coagulant.
If you continue to experience substantial bleeding from the extraction site after 24 hours, contact the dentist who performed the surgery and follow his/her instructions. Let your dentist know of any medications you are taking, particularly aspirin or aspirin substitutes, coumadin, or any drugs with known blood-thinning properties.
