Im still bleeding 7 hours after my wisdom teeth extraction...is that normal?

This is not uncommon: The bleeding will look worse that it actually is due to blood mixing with saliva and appearing like a large amount of blood. Apply pressure by biting on a moistened tea bag. Contact the surgeon if it continues after 24 hours.

Not abnormal: Try placing a tea bag in the extraction site areas and closing gently but firmly. Change every 20-30 minutes. if still oozing tomorrow, call your Oral Surgeon.
