How much bleeding is considered normal after a tooth extraction- my packed said it would ooze but woke up with a mouth full of blood and my teeth all stained??.
I used tea bags and gauze last night still bleeding now ?
 
Bleeding often looks worse than it is because even a small amount of blood mixed with saliva can look like a lot of blood... but if it's still bleeding now rather than occasionally oozing, go back to your dentist to get it checked (or at the very least give them a call) - the aftercare is part of what you've paid them for :)
