I had a wisdom tooth out an hour ago and was told to bite on gauze for 20 mins. I did this and then when I took the gauze out, it looked like a blood clot came out with the gauze. It’s bleeding again so I’m biting on a damp tea bag as don’t have any more gauze and google said this was a good alternative.
Im worried that the gauze might have pulled out the blood clot that formed originally.
How do I make sure another one forms and stays there when I take the tea bag out. How long should I leave the tea bag in for and make sure I prevent dry socket?
