As a dentist myself I can assure you that minimal bleeding/oozing can last several days after an extraction, if the bleeding continues or worsens then you will want to give your regular dentist a call. A dry socket will usually present itself within the first 72 hours after an extraction, usually after those first 72 hours the chances of dry socket decreases considerably. It can actually take months for the extraction site to completely heal and even then there may always be an indentation. Continue taking any medications your dentist may have prescribed and continue with warm salt water rinses, this will insure that food debris does not get into the socket and will also help fight off infection. Good luck and hope you are feeling better soon!

If you have been eating it could be the cause of the bleeding. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is severe. Rinsing with salt water should help quite a bit.

THIS IS JUST A LITTLE OOZING FROM THE EXTRACTION SITE AND WILL GET BETTER IN A FEW DAYS AND STOP.
