Fearfilkid,
Glad to hear the extraction is done and you did well with it.
Do not keep putting a gauze pad over the extraction site today as it could pull the clot out. Just leave it be and the bleeding will subside on it's own. If for some reason the site starts to ooze a lot of blood, then slightly dampen 2 pieces of gauze, fold them together, place them over the site and bite down for 30 minutes.
I am sure the dentist gave you post op instructions... I would suggest that you read them over

I was wondering, there's only slight bleeding..do I still need to put gauze or just leave it empty?
Also, I think I just have a temp filling for my root canal until the 23rd when the put the permanent crown, will it be ok by then? Idk, I thought I was gonna have a temp crown, but all I have is a temp filling. I'm hoping the soreness is just from the procedure.
Again, thanks for your time Ginnie.. I really appreciate your support |
