A member asked:
I noticed bleeding after seven days at wisdom tooth extraction site, should i worry about infection?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Needs attention: Should not have bleeding after a full week of healing. Just to make sure everything is ok call your oral surgeon and have him/her take a look.

See your dentist: It is unusual for an extraction socket to be bleeding that long after the surgery. I would see your dentist so he/she can figure out what the issue is.
