A half hour: A certain amount of bleeding is to be expected following surgery. Slight bleeding, oozing, or redness in the saliva is very common. Excessive bleeding may be controlled by placing a gauze pad over the area and biting firmly for thirty minutes. Repeat as needed until bleeding is stopped. Take care.

Wisdom tooth : The bleeding after a wisdom tooth extraction should stop fairly quickly but you may notice some oozing for several hours. If you are experiencing significant bleeding after about an hour call the extracting dentist. They will tell you how to handle,this.

Call your own dentist if ?
