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.
After tooth removal you should keep gauze in your mouth over the wound and apply gentle pressure until you have stopped bleeding. If bleeding continues for 36-48 hours contact your dentist/doctor.

I am by no means a dental professional but it would be in your best interest to seek professional advice from your doctor or dental professional, especially if you have a condition called hemophilia which is the inability of clots to form and can be very dangerous.You should also seek advice from your doctor or dental professional if you are prone to infections as improper clotting can lead to infection. I have had teeth pulled several times including wisdom tooth extraction recently and I found that several hours after the operation I was still bleeding even after using gauze so I removed the gauze and found that the pain reduced and the bleeding reduced. By no means should you necessarily follow my advice everyone is different and reacts differently to surgery. My best advice for you would be as I already stated visit your dental professional or doctor and in extream cases where infection has progressed vist the emergency department of your local hospital. I hope this helps
