After the wisdom teeth are extracted how long should you bite down on the gauze?
Bite down on the gauze, changing it every 15-30 minutes, and when the gauze has just a pinkish tint to it (instead of the dark red blood you had been seeing), then the bleeding has slowed down enough to remove it. Just do not bend over, use a straw, or smoke a cigarette or the bleeding will flare back up. If you should happen to begin to bleed again, simply put some gauze back in your mouth. Try to relax until you have reached the point where the gauze can be removed. Hope this has helped! The bleeding should stop about 20 minutes after the surgery. Although is some cases, especially after complicated extractions, the gums can start bleeding again, and you can also wake up the next morning with some blood in your mouth. It is always handy to have extra coton gauzes with you. If you have none left, you can go to rite aid or daune reade to pick up cotton
Well I'm not a dentist, but my aunt is going to college for it. I am pretty sure that dentists' DO NOT use math. I think they use numbering for the position of a tooth.

For example, if you want to sit on the chair behind your patient's head while they are lying vertical, you have to go to 12:00 (12 o' clock) position.

What should you do if bleeding continues hours after a tooth extraction?
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.
