Dear Reader,
Some bleeding on the day of tooth extraction is normal. You may hold cold water in your mouth to stop the bleeding. Applying ice packs to the cheeks of the affected side may also help.
You may talk to your dentist about this concern and stay prepared.
Most importantly,
If you experience excessive bleeding, it’s crucial to inform your doctor immediately. Your health and well-being are our top priority. Hope this helps.
