TREATMENT / Extractions / Bleeding

• Gauze should be placed over the extraction site and pressure applied by biting down.

• To prepare the gauze, moisten it with tap water, roll it up, fold it over, and place over the surgical site.

• Keep gauze packs in place for three to four hours or until bleeding subsides, changing at one-hour intervals as needed.

• Minimal bleeding is expected.

• Contact your dentist's emergency number if you continue to bleed.

• If you have any concerns about your bleeding please consult your dentist.
