i got my first ever wisdom tooth out and it went really, really well!

except for the fact that i can't get the stupid thing to stop bleeding? it's been 8 hours and it's still going strong. i've been using gauze the whole time, i tried a tea bag and it didn't make any difference.

i just want to eat and go to sleep. but i'm scared to eat anything because even drinking water just tastes like nasty blood, and i'm afraid to sleep because i don't want to choke on the blood or something.

pleeeease somebody tell me what i'm doing wrong? i have the gauze over the extraction site and i'm biting down firmly but not no much that it's awkward or painful. i can't go to the dentist's because they're closed now.

Hi
It's so many years ago
...but think when I had mine out it bled quite a lot. Do you have medical helplines in Canada where you can just make a quick call and ask?
