How long does it take for a clot to form after tooth extraction?

Instantly: If you have normal clotting abilities the clot begins to form instantly. Bleeding should subside within 10 minutes.

Immediately: You should not leave the doctor's office until the clot begins to form. It will take some time for the clot to fully heal and for gum tissue to form, but the bleeding should be under control before you leave the office.
