A wound is left : Where the teeth were. Follow dentist's written instructions after an extraction. Avoid strenuous activity to include heavy lifting. Take it easy. Avoid activities that create suction (smoking or sucking from a straw). Don't swish vigorously. Avoid alcohol ; hot beverages. A soft or liquid diet would be good. Your dentist/ oral surgeon likely provided you w gauze to apply pressure for bleeding/.

Normal: Normal for a short period of time after wisdom teeth extraction. Normally stops by the following morning. See your dentist if bleeding is brisk, or if it persists the day after surgery.
