first of all, why are you on the computer if you just had your wisdom teeth pulled? I was on the couch for days after and had no desire to do anything! I would call the dentist who did the procedure and ask them whats up! If you have guaze in your mouth, it should have clotted by now? Unless there is something wrong with your stitches?
Good Luck!

I would tell you to call your dentist. A little bledding is ok. I am a medical assistant and here are some things that work in the mouth. Did the dentist give you cotton. Keep it in your mouth for a long time. Now I realize that you may have done that already. The next thing you can do is try your best to keep ice cubes in your mouth as long as you can. The coldness will shrink the gums in the back. Depending on how bad the bleeding is also call your dentist. I hope you feel better

Did they put gauze in your mouth? If so; keep gently biting on it. The pressure will help the bleeding stop.
If it doesn't stop soon, call the emergency number on the paper they gave you for follow-up instructions.

Gargle with saltwater and press coarse gauze or cotton in the empty sockets and gently bite down

They might need to pack a clove gauze into the socket. It doesn't hurt and it stops the bleeding. You should call your surgeon.
