Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Guo Huijie
If bleeding persists after tooth extraction, take the following measures:
1. Seek medical attention as soon as possible to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
2. The patient can apply pressure to the extraction site using a wet towel or gauze pad to help reduce bleeding.
3. Since trauma occurs in the mouth after tooth extraction, avoid any oral irritation such as chewing food.
4. Tooth extraction may lead to oral infection; take anti-infective medication as recommended by your doctor to prevent infection.
5. Pain may occur after tooth extraction; take pain relievers as advised by your doctor to alleviate discomfort.
