i wouldn't be concerned until the morning if you are still bleeding..some people just bleed more..i have 2 teeth extracted last week and i lived on milkshakes and mashed potatos for 6 days(and i love food)..that may not be necessary,i'm just a nervous person..if you want to eat solid foods,i would wait until the bleeding stops though..Health Question & Answer
You should have stopped bleeding by now.. Take some of the 2x2 gauze they should have given you and fold it up where the extractions were.. Bite down HARD for 30 minutes to see if that stops it.. If it is just a little blood, it's probably ok.. But if it is soaking through the gauze, you need to call your dentist (even if it's the middle of the night).. As far as food, once the bleeding has stopped, eat soft foods like pudding, yogurt, mashed potatoes, soup, etc.. for a day or two.. Then if you feel like other foods, try it out.. And don't suck through a straw for a few days either, it can give you a dry socket..Health Question & Answer
Doesn't sound too safe.... You were bleeding for about 7 hours.... Did they give you those pads to put on your gums.? The bleeding does stay pretty long(not that long) .. If you don't have the pads just rinse out your mouth and put paper towels or something to bite on/put on your gums.. Since the dentist isn't open now go early in the morning (if you're still bleeding) or go to the docters or hospital if you get worried.. Eat soft things like peanut butter and jelly samiches.. that's what I ate..Health Question & Answer
