What should I do if bleeding continues after tooth extraction?

If bleeding continues after tooth extraction, immediately bite down on a sterile cotton ball or gauze pad to apply pressure and stop the bleeding, maintaining pressure for at least 30 minutes. At the same time, apply a cold towel to the facial area near the extraction site to help slow blood flow. If bleeding persists, seek medical attention promptly, as it may be due to reasons such as gum laceration, rupture of small blood vessels in the socket, or coagulation disorders. A doctor will determine the appropriate measures based on the specific situation to control the bleeding.
