Post op bleeding: it is common for there to be some oozing of blood following n extraction but this should not go on for more than a day or two. Call the extracting dentist about your bleeding and they will be able to give you the best advice.

It is normal: Mild bleeding after oral surgery is normal. If the bleeding does not stop after 24 hours, call your surgeon for post op check.

Vague: Depends on health history, if you have bleeding issues, taking meds (i.e. aspirin,) or supplements that may promote bleeding, type and severity of the surgery, where in the mouth surgery was done, how long after surgery. Often the blood mixes with the saliva making it seem like there is more blood than really is there. I would call the dentist/oral surgeon and ask questions.
