A member asked:

I got my wisdom teeth out 12 days ago, the bleeding had stopped a few days after surgery, now my top right suture is bleeding and i'm not sure if this is normal. i hadn't had any problems until now.

See you provider: Post operative visits are generally free. If you are having questions regarding your surgery, give your provider a call for their opinion. If it isn't hurting and isn't a substainal amount of blood give it a day or two and see if it's any better. Rinse a few times a day with warm salt water (1 tsp per 8 oz of warm water). Best of luck!

It is normal: Slight bleeding or redness in the saliva is not uncommon for several days after wisdom teeth surgery. If concerned see your dentist for post-op examination.
