SANDRA, THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO TAKE ASPIRIN FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS WILL KEEP BLOOD FROM CLOTTING. TAKE A WET COLD TEABAG AND PLACE IT OVER THE SOCKET AND D NOT TRY TO SUCK THE AREA OR USE A STRAW WHEN DRINKING. THE TEABAG SHOULD BE PLACED OVER THE SOCKET FOR 30 MINUTES.

A little blood on the gauze is normal for a day or so. A drop of blood in yuor mouth makes your saliva practically look like you are bleeding again, but your description sounds pretty much normal. §

uh...yeah it should have clotted a while ago. I had a tooth pulled not that long ago and it clotted within an hour. Not sure if it's a big problem to be concerned about. I would call your dentist to be sure though.

after 14 hours it should have stopped a lot...it should maybe still bleed a little...are you taking aspirin or other blood thinning agents?...if it continues I'd seek a medical opinion.

if its still bleeding bite on a tea bag (any tea bag)...that usually helps stop the bleeding. If it doesnt then call ur dentist.

The dentist didn't stitch it? That's most likely why it is still bleeding.

It will ease soon, just rinse your mouth with salty water it does work.
