Generally, the most bleeding will occur immediately after the extraction, which is why the dentist will place gauze over the area for you to bite down on to apply pressure and help stop the bleeding. The heaviest bleeding subsides quickly. In some cases, the extraction site may ooze a little on and off for 12 to 24 hours after the extraction. This is completely normal and no cause for alarm.
The extraction site must clot properly to stop the bleeding. If you look in your mouth, you should see a darker area around the tissue where the tooth was. The material/clot that generates in your gum tissue is the body’s natural way of stopping the bleeding and promoting the healing process.
