I just got a baby tooth pulled this last Wednesday [4/25]. The tooth is on MY left, the pointy one, on top. Anyways, how long should it bleed? It is still currently bleeding, and it is now 4/28. I wake up with blood on my pillow.... How long will it last?
My Baby Tooth Extraction?
Usually it wouldn't bleed that long after a baby tooth extraction. It is normal to weep a little for a few days. But you also have to make sure not to poke at it all the time. Don't smoke, don't use aspirin products - they will make you bleed more. If you take blood thinners that will make you bleed, too. You can bite on some gauze for 20 min at a time. But only if it bleeds a lot. You can also wet a tee bag and bite on it. If you still have problems 7 days after the extraction see your dentist again.
Reply:you should have gotten some gauze from the dentist to hold in the space to stop the bleeding =if you didn't get any go get him to give it to you
Reply:LL,
THE BLOOD STAIN ON THE PILLOW WAS SALIVA MIXED WITH A TRACE OF BLOOD FROM THE HEALING SOCKET. THIS WILL HEAL TOTALLY WITHIN A DAY A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. DON'T WORRY.
