    I had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday ( far back upper right). The extraction was quick and painless and I know it's normal to have on/off bleeding for 24 hours.
    Just wondering..what should I do if I'm bleeding past that timeframe?
    I'm also afraid to eat incase it triggers bleeding.

    Some bleeding is normal
    Bite on some gauze/ kitchen roll that is wet in cold water

    If bleeding is profuse or uncontrollable you need top contact the dentist....
