Yes, bleeding for a day or two is perfectly normal. Heavy bleeding, though, is not. If you have heavy bleeding you need to go back to the dentist.

Unfortunately, it is -- assuming it is more like seepage than outright bleeding. You've got a huge crater to fill up, and it takes the blood time to coagulate. Especially when you are up and awake and moving around. It should ease off overnight, and begin to heal.
Hope you feel better tomorrow.

" Apply A Regular Tea Bag,
Bite Down On It,
It Will Stop The Bleeding. "

YYeah, try to give it 24 hours. If you are just getting a little blood washed back by your saliva, you are fine. If you are bleeding profusedly, you aren't.
Just had two taken out at once.
