The most commonly used way is by applying pressure to the bleeding area with a gauze.
Sometimes biting on a tea bag also helps. For a more detail instruction and guide, you can refer to this article.

Some suggestions to stop the bleeding after having a wisdom tooth extracted are:
My husband had 2 wisdom teeth pulled this morning. The surgery took about 30 minutes, but his bleeding didnt seem to want to stop. He did everything that the dentist said before surgery like not eating after midnight and no alcholic drinks for up to 3 days before surgery. My mother told me to take green or regular lipton tea bags and put in the back of his jaw and pack the holes with the tea bags. Also make sure that they are dry so they can absorb blood or moisture. It really worked. His bleeding stopped with in 15 minutes. I posted this question so i could give this answer. The dentist also said to try big ice packs on the outside of the cheek. Helps with swelling and helps stop the pain and bleeding.
I also tried this and it worked perfectly. I used Bigelow black tea (like Lipton's) but it doesn't have a staple to attach the string. I was worried about the staple getting in the mouth in case the tea bag ruptured. Cut off the string and bite down on the teabag for 30 minutes. Works great!
The above poster is absolutely correct (what a great idea) and I've used this method (tea bags that had boiling water over them, then cooled) placed on closed eyes that are badly irritated. It's the acid in the tea.
Yes, the tannic acid in tea helps to stop the bleeding.
Depending on the amount of force used to remove the tooth, whether or not you pulled it out by force or if it fell out naturaly, the bleeding could last anywhere from 30 seconds to five or ten minutes. rinse out your mouth with salt water a few times and put some gauze on it. Pressure helps a lot.
ok so what i'd do is first of all rinse a lilttle then i would take tolietpaper(clean) and tap it a little then when u think uve had most of the blood out get another set of tolietpaper(clean) and put it where the tooth was u know incase it bleeds more
The bleeding should stop after a few hours (Or less) if it doesn't tell a responsible adult and ask them what you should do.
Bite on a wet tea bag for a few minutes. It will allow a clot to form and will not stick to the clot. Oozing is normal for the first hour or so.
you just keep putting the cloth/cotton wool on it and that's all you can do...
It should stop completely in 2 or 3 days. Rinse often with salt water and pack with gauze if needed.
Get a wet Paper towel put it on the tooth for at least 2 hours till it stops bleeding if it doesent then go to the dentist
no
In dentistry, it is a technique of extraction of tooth in a patient with bleeding disorder.
after a tooth extraction just be careful not to disturb the clot formation process....by sipping through a straw,smoking,rinsing.and spiting...the quicker the clot gets formed the faster the bleeding will stop....typically by applying pressure on the extraction site by biting on the gauze given by the doctor and holding it for 45mins to 1hour reduces the bleeding till gradually its gone...if bleeding gets worse check with your doctor
This could possibly be the sign of a hemophilic disorder, and I would advise you to go see your doctor immediately to run some bleeding tests such as and Ivy bleeding test, and a prothrombin test
There are several ways to tell if a tooth extraction is healing normally. After a couple of days, bleeding will stop, swelling will go down, and the pain will go away. If any of these things persist after three or four days, it is important to go to the dentist immediately.
Doctor has to test that if patient is bleeder before tooth extraction. Otherwise there may be continuous bleeding from the tooth extraction site or operation. Which may lead to serious consequences if left untreated. It is very easy to test the bleeding and clotting time. It is a bed side test.
No, if you are still bleeding 48 hrs after a tooth extraction, consult your dentist. If it is another type of extraction, your question should be more specific.

Routine packing of extraction sockets is done to achieve haemostasis (stop bleeding), and depending on the packing material used, may also be done to promote bone formation in the socket to improve the outcome of subsequent restorative treatments.
Use a small piece of gauze, use warm water or tea to moisten the gauze. Place it over the wound and bite down on it for 15-30 min. That should do the trick, if bleeding continues, contact your surgeon.
Yep, go see your doctor.
