A member asked:
Does ice help stop bleeding from wisdom teeth surgery? i pulled out the bottom 2, but the right one is bleeding more than the other.

Ice : Is generally not the recommended treatment for bleeding. If the bleeding continues you can try biting on a moist tea bag. If it does seem excessive you should contact your doctor immediately.

No: Ice helps keep swelling down but does not slow bleeding. Apply pressure to stop bleeding. Also wet a black pekoe tea bag and apply to the bleeding site. The tannins in the tea help to stop bleeding.
