It is possible to have bleeding after a few days post operatively. There are a few factors which may have caused your bleeding: An unstable blood clot or the clot may have been disturbed due to eg) vigorous rinsing / exercising You experienced a difficult removal, which may cause the surrounding soft tissues or bone to bleed more. If you have high blood pressure If you have a “large” blood vessel in your bone or soft tissue which was traumatized You could try to bite on a gauze for 30 minutes, or apply pressure at the socket site to help stop the bleeding.
Is it recommended to remove 4 wisdom teeth at one go?
Thank you for your question. I get this question a lot and I am happy to give you my opinion. Firstly, as with any proposed treatment, your dentist should be aware of the indications, and contraindications. At my practice, it is not unusual to remove all the wisdom teeth at a go (when indicated) under Intra-venous sedation for guaranteed comfort during the procedure. For many of our patients, dental anxiety is a major concern and they have an option for them to be sedated. If you prefer not to be sedated, removing all wisdom teeth can also be done under local anesthesia.
