Dentist-- numb mouth keeps bleeding?
U may have a vein that didn't get stitched or the stitch came undone. U will need to go to the dentist to fix that. If u r really hungry, try a slimfast with a straw. Also it might help to put some ice on it. Good Luck

If they did not already give you stitches they should have. |


I had a tooth pulled and it was bleeding for 2 hours, so yeah sometimes it takes awhile.








Also, don't chew on the inside of your cheek! - a bit of advice lol-
Reply:the bleeding will stop....keep putting pressure on. And make sure you rinse with salt water 4-5 times a day to prevent dry socket.


As for the hunger....soup.
Reply:Don't use tissue. Get a wash cloth and wet it. Otherwise it will stick to the dried blood and it will start bleeding again. If you are still bleeding heavily, call your dentist. Rarely, some people have clotting problems that are undetected prior to these types of things. Wet the wash cloth and bite on it. If the bleeding is not slowing, you may need to see a doc depending on what your dentist says. Don't spit, no straws, etc.
