had the 2 lower wisdom teeth removed on monday. after the surgery, the bleeding was very minimal and only lasted until I arrived home, by then i was ready to take out the gauze. i have been following all the rules, like not drinking through a straw or spitting and ive been eating pastina, soup, and pudding. i have little to no pain daily.. (only need to take motrin once a day) but last night while i was rinsing with salt water, i bled. I bled enough where i actually needed to put some gauze in my mouth (only on 1 side) and it continued constantly for about an hour. after that, i went to bed and woke up with a pinkish tint in my saliva. I have been fine since then. Mom says It doesnt hurt to go into the dentist but i do not want to irritate my mouth and go and open wide if its feeling completely normal now. any thoughts? is this even normal? i mean, im going on day 4 and when this happened it was day 3.
