The dentist may have provided gauze for you to apply to the wound. If you have followed their instructions, and the bleeding is more than oozing, you should contact them ( they may have an after hours number) or a local hospital. A wound will bleed for about a half-day, but excessive bleeding should be treated. A clot needs to form at the wound site, and anything that prevents this should be avoided, including frequently disturbing the site, blowing your nose a lot and coughing. Reduce activity, but keep the head elevated. See the Related Links below, and seek medical help if your situation seems out of the ordinary.

Continue to bite on cotton gauze over the extraction sites. If you are still bleeding after 12 hours, place a moistened teabag over each extraction site bite down for the next several hours. If you are still experiencing significant bleeding 24 hours after the surgery, contact the dentist and follow his/her instructions.

If the wisdom teeth is bleeding is it infected?

It is normal for bleeding after wisdom teeth extraction. The bleeding might come and go for 24 hours, but should not be constant in a high flow. If this is the case, call your dentist. If you don't have coton gauze anymore, you can put a wet tea bag and bite on it. It acts as a coton and it has tannic acid which slows down the bleeding. Signs of infection would be a flow of puss coming out of the hole. If you are not sure, see your dentist.

Why is there bone where my wisdom teeth used to be?

Third molars, especially in the mandible (lower jaw) are often found in states of impaction, therefore often necessitating bone removal by the oral or maxillofacial surgeon during extraction. The bone you are feeling is either the mandible (lower jaw) or the maxillary bone (upper jaw). This is found to be normal, however should you develop pain or bleeding in or around that extraction site, you should contact your dental health professional immediately, as increased bleeding after the first 24-48 hours may be a sign of a dry socket (blood clot dislodged or that failed to form).


What does minimal bleeding from head wound mean?

It does not mean much more than if you had a minimal bleeding on a wound elsewhere. Minimal is good, and it should form a crust within short time. If it does not form a crust and carry on bleeding for hours upon hours, then I would suggest you have somebody to have a look at it.
