After having my tooth pulled how long will it take to quit bleeding?

A couple hours: Bleeding and oozing are different. Blood in saliva amplifies the appearance of bleeding. Keep pressure on the area, only replacing the gauze hourly. Do not keep looking at it, touching it. The constant pressure is the key. You can also try biting on warm moist tea bag which has tanic acid which can help. If you are concerned still after a few hours, call your dental provider. Pressure!

Almost immediately: If it is bleeding then your post operative instructions were lacking. I instruct my patients after the extraction to bite firm on cotton for 3 hours and hold 1 ice cube (in a plastic bag) on the area for the entire 3 hours (change to new ice cube when prior one melts), go to www.Dentalproblemsolvers.Com and look under instructions after extraction. Don't add anything to these simple instruction.

Few Hours: Bleeding will occur after tooth extraction, and it is not uncommon to ooze blood for few hours after the procedure. Bite firmly on the gauze pads covering the extraction site to help stop the bleeding.
