I had my wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago, but I'm still bleeding severely?

Question

I'm spitting up clumps of blood, and when I apply guaze and bite down for 30 minutes I just bleed more. Should I call my surgeon or is this normal?

Answer 1

I had mine taken out and that happened to me.  Instead of just having the gauze in your mouth for only 30 mins at a time, leave it in there for maybe a couple of hours before removing it so it has a better chance of healing. If you take the gauze out, replace it with more.  You should do that for a couple more days.  try not to move your jaw so much and dont mess with it.  If it is bleeding where blood fills your mouth in a short amount of time you might wanna call your surgeon.

Answer 2

Whenever something happens to make your mouth bleed, it'll bleed like you got hurt alot worse than you did. I was a rough kid and took alot of tumbles and I can remember my mom always saying "mouths bleed and the only thing to stop them is a popscicle", the ice kind of stops it a little and it took my little kid mind off of the blood too.

Answer 3

its normal to have pools of blood, but usually they clot within a day. eat some apple sauce (any soft fruits and veggies) because they are supposed to aid in clotting blood in your body natrually. i do think you should call your doctor though because two days is, i believe, too long of a time for them to still be bleeding profusely like that.

Answer 4

Maybe you should call but im not sure. If you are very worried then call.

Answer 5

Take some caffeinated tea bags and soak them in cold water then bite down on them for about a half hour. If it doesn't stop after that call your dentist.
