Yes: If your tooth is only bleeding a small amount you can remove the gauze. Try avoid carbonated beverages and don't drink through a straw for a few days while it heals. Also avoid vegetables with little seeds as they can get into the healing socket. Tomorrow do some warm salt water rinses throughout the day! 1/4 tsp per 8 oz of warm water. Hope this helps!

Bleeding control: Only if excessive bleeding continues, apply another fresh gauze pad for an additional 30 minutes. Don't use the amount of blood on the gauze as a bleeding guide, because minimal bleeding may persist for up to 24 hours. Good luck!
