Docs can you explain, is slight bleeding normal after wisdom tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It' normal: Yes, slight bleeding is normal after an extraction. Just keep pressure on clean gauze for 20 minutes. Then check. If more oozing occurs, bite on gauze for 20 more minutes. Keep doing this until bleeding stops.
