What Is The Treatment For Bleeding From The Wound?
Hello doctor. I just had my left upper and lower wisdom teeth today. The stitching was not done properly, the flesh from the top wound was sewn to the lower cheek. Now the flesh has gotten loose and fallen off. The problem is, I have had flesh stick to the gauze i was told to bite on, which was then removed along with the gauze. I also have had persistent bleeding. In short, I have regular portions of flesh dislodging from the upper wound, with persistent bleeding from both upper and lower, more so from the upper wound. Any advice?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have bleeding from extraction socket dont worry it is due to dislogement of Blood clot from socket .
You can apply cotton dipped in cold water on socket and compress it .
Consult dentist again and go for Medicated pack of Zinc oxide eugenol as early as possible.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health
