Answer 1

I had four of mine removed yesterday morning and there was still bleeding throughout the day. This morning when I woke up, there was a little bit of blood on the gauzes still, but it's normal. I called the dentist and they said it is ok not to put the gauzes on anymore. You should not be bleeding for more than 24 hours. If it has been a whole day and you are still bleeding A LOT, then you should get it checked. Otherwise, some bleeding is normal.

You shouldn't be eating solid foods in the next several days at least. Start with liquids, and gradually move up to tiny bit more solid foods. But don't be chewing though.
