We assess the socket, the bleeding source and the medicines you take. Local hemostatic materials or sutures are used when needed, followed by individual instructions.
What we do

- Mechanical pressure and hemostatic agents.
- Suturing if needed.
- Review relevant medicines and medical history; arrange further medical assessment if needed.

Bleeding after extraction: when to return
Blood-stained saliva differs from active bleeding. Continued bleeding needs local pressure and contact with a dentist. At MasterDent, 24/4 Revutskoho Street, the socket and possible reasons for bleeding are assessed.
Management depends on the tissues, time since extraction and medicines affecting clotting. Local hemostatic dressings or sutures may be needed. Heavy bleeding or a worsening general condition requires emergency medical care. Do not stop anticoagulants without medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
What can I do before assessment?
Sit upright and bite firmly on clean slightly damp gauze over the socket for 20 minutes without repeatedly lifting it. Seek help if bleeding is heavy or persists.
Is pink saliva normal?
A small amount of blood can occur. Active flow, rapidly soaked pads or weakness requires assessment.
Should I rinse vigorously?
No. Rinsing and spitting may disturb the clot. Follow the dentist’s instructions.
Should I stop blood-thinning medication?
Do not stop anticoagulants or antiplatelets yourself. Tell the dentist which medicines and doses you take.
Does everyone need sutures?
No. Pressure alone may help, while other cases require a hemostatic dressing or sutures.
Can I exercise?
Avoid exertion until the situation is stable. Discuss returning to sport with the treating dentist.
Why has bleeding restarted?
Clot disturbance, exertion, tissue condition or medicines may contribute. An examination is needed to identify the cause.
When should I seek emergency medical care?
Heavy uncontrolled bleeding, dizziness, marked weakness or fainting requires emergency medical help.
