I think they mean if you have blood oozing out of the site that you need to put a teabag or such over the extraction site. From what some people say on here you can get a bit of dribble blood on your pillow case. I have never had this as I stop bleeding before I leave the dentist office. Thank goodness, I do taste blood a bit, so I hope that helps. I know about the teabag thing but have never thought about it would need wrapping up, I don't think you do.
Congrats on going and getting it doneand get well soon.
Follow the after care instructions no sucking or smoking or spitting and tomorrow start with the salt water rinses, just let a teaspoon of salt melt in a glass of warm water and gently swish it around then let it dribble out of your mouth. After 72 hours you will be safe from dry socket. Happy healing![]()
