Teeth pulled 2 hours ago blood in mouth is brown in color, is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acute Bleeding: Or brb (bright red blood) is a sign of fresh and continuous bleeding. Darker blood is "older blood" and clotted blood. Blood can have a variety of shades, darker blood is de-oxygenated and "older blood". Utilize gauze with biting pressure for an hour and change as needed. Tea bag will also be helpful, tannin in the tea will help to promote coagulation.
