How do i know if i broke my suture?

Question

i just got my tooth pulled yesterday. this morning i believed i stopped bleeding. but all of a sudden i'm bleeding again. how do i know if i broke my suture?

p.s. i ran out of gauze and i'm using a tea bag

Answer 1

Yes keep biting on that teabag and if it does not slow down see your dentist asap, its unlikely you broke a suture, the clot may have just been disturbed which does happen at times
