: Yes you have an open would filled with a blood clot and granulated bone and probably covered with a membrane to hold everything in pace during healing. any food that pushes on the would may squeese out some blood from the clot that would stain the saliva red.  Keep upthe salt water rinses and continue with a soft diet on the opposite side until you return for your post Operative appointment.

tooth extraction aftercare. please help! what do i do if it's still bleeding?

Bleeding : If an extraction site continues to bleed, place a dry tea bag over the site and bite on it for about 20-30 minutes. The tannins in black tea will help. Also, avoid sucking through a straw or rinsing, which will dislodge a blood clot. If it continues to bleed, call the dentist who removed the tooth for further instruction.

why am i still bleeding almost 72 hours after tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Call dentist: Place a moistened (in water- not hot) tea bag (black tea not herbal or green tea) on the extraction site, hold it there or bite on it with pressure for 20 to 30 minutes.  If the bleeding is significantly slowed but still slightly bleeding, re-apply with a new tea bag for 20 to 30 minutes.   If unsuccessful, see your dentist immediately.
