When bleeding won’t stop.
by: Christine Zafra
If you had your molar extraction (or any tooth for that matter) 3 days ago, and still, the open wound is bleeding, go see your dentist right away. Your extraction might have had some complications or you either have diabetes or lack blood clotting minerals. If you have health related issues, then see your doctor as well and get meds to prevent further bleeding. Normally, it takes up to two days (48 hours) for the bleeding to stop, and it is normal if you see little spots of blood mixed with your saliva. Follow the doctor’s advice. You wouldn’t want to further the complication, do you?
