Bleeding after tooth extraction?

I had a wisdom tooth at the top right taken out yesterday morning, and by and large everything has been fine.





My only concern is that the gum is still bleeding, albeit very very little. If I spit into the sink, there's a tiny amount of blood there. I can't taste blood in my mouth, nor is any visible when I open wide and take a look.





How long does this kind of bleeding continue, and is there a point at which I should be worried?

Bleeding after tooth extraction?
Dont panic, this is fairly common after having an extraction, when your tooth is extracted a blood clot forms over the socket, if you drink anything hot it will disturb the clot and bleeding will occur, bear in mind that the blood will mix with your own saliva and this will make it look as though there is a lot more blood.


If this continues try placing a bit of wet kitchen towel over the socket, this will soak up any blood, dont use cotton wool as this will get stuck in the socket and can be messy and unpleasant.


If you have serious blood loss contact the dentist and he/she will check that everything is OK.
