    Hi,

    I have an appointment to have one of my teeth out this coming Monday.
    I have had a lower back tooth out before but this time it will be one of my upper teeth.
    My question is will it be harder to stop the bleeding after the extracion because it's an upper tooth? if so any tips on how to stop the bleeding a little quicker?

    Thank you.

    Bite down firmly on a cold wet roll of tissue/ kitchen roll/ gauze. Repeat if necessary. Don't exert yourself. Don't rinse for the first day...... Ask your dentist....

    Way too many variables to say.... Generally lowers are more difficult but so e lowers are easy and some uppers are a b.....
