How to stop bleeding after tooth extraction

To control bleeding after tooth extraction, the following methods are generally recommended: 1. Pressure application: After tooth extraction, firmly bite down on a sterile cotton ball or gauze for approximately 30 minutes to one hour to achieve effective hemostasis through compression. 2. Ice application: Wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply it to the area of the extracted tooth. This helps constrict blood vessels and slow blood flow, thereby reducing bleeding. 3. Medication: If bleeding is excessive, consider taking oral hemostatic agents or using topical packing agents such as Yunnan Baiyao or vitamin K1 to promote blood clotting and improve the bleeding condition. If bleeding persists or discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
