Bite in a tea bag.: Some of the contents of regular tea can reduce bleeding. It is also not a bad pressure pack.

Yes, continue.: Keep pressure on the site with the gauze. You should have received a few extra gauze packs. If not, go to drugstore and get some, or call dentist if he/she is nearby. Also, a dentist's favorite trick: bite on a teabag. Saturate it fiirst, then squeeze out excess and use it instead of the gauze. The tea has an ingredient that stops bleeding.
