IS it normal to be bleeding 3 days after wisdom teeth extraction?

Question

i find that i am bleeding on one side, but not on the others... i apply pressure to it, but it is still kind of bleeding. It is weird becasue it stopped bleeding the second day, but started again last night. I think it was the salt water that did it, but ever since the side continues to bleed. What should i do?

Answer 1

it's not normal, go back to your dentist the blood plug has not formed or it has fallen out could lead to a condition call dry socket and could lead to infection. The dentist may cauterize it.

Answer 2

yeah.its totally normal.actually,the 2nd and 3rd day are the hardest days,& your face will probably swell up abit.

but,its normal :)

Answer 3

If you have an gauze left I would use it again. Also the ice pack to the face was the best thing ever.

Answer 4

It is normal. My older sister had her wisdom teeth extracted recently. The dissolvable stitches tend to loosen up a bit and you may taste blood and sometimes the blood clots unclot. Just another tip: apply direct ice to your face instead of the chem-packs to decrease swelling. The chem-packs aren't nearly as cold as what you need.
