Most common questions used to investigate
Has your tooth been removed less than 24 hours ago?
Have you experienced bleeding near your tooth socket while brushing your teeth?
Does the tooth socket constantly bleed?
Common conclusions
Experiencing slight bleeding during the first hours after a tooth removal is normal. Reduce any sucking or swishing motions in your mouth and follow your dental surgeon's recommendations. If bleeding persists after 24 hours - schedule a visit to your dentist immediately.
Brushing your teeth aggressively can sometimes cause bleeding after a tooth has been removed. However, it is still essential to keep that area clean and to thoroughly brush off all food particles from the neighboring teeth surface to reduce any bacteria accumulation, which can lead to an infection. It is recommended that you use a softer toothbrush and avoid excessive pressure when brushing. If the condition persists, contact your dentist for more information.
It seems you may be at a risk of having postsurgical complications. Lasting bleeding accompanied by redness or swelling of the tooth socket may be a sign of dental infection in your periodontal structures. Such conditions require further treatment. Schedule a visit to your dental surgeon immediately.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine the causes of your bleeding. Contact your dentist as soon as possible for more information on your particular situation.
