![]() You need to make sure that the area is cleaned out, that it is not messed with and that you do not drink from straws, as this can dislodge the blood clot that is keeping the area together until it is fully healed. The Time You Can Expect to Bleed ForIt is important to keep in mind that bleeding is common when it comes to having oral surgery. With this in mind, you then have to know that oozing will happen for around 2 to 3 hours after surgery and sometimes it can keep seeping blood in the pads that you hold to the area.It is also not uncommon for bleeding to occur for 24 - 48 hours after having oral surgery. Remember that when you see blood it is oftentimes a little blood and a lot of saliva that is mixed together. This makes it seem like a lot of blood, even if it is not actually a lot of blood that is being expelled. When it comes to bleeding, you should have an idea from the dental professional on what to expect with your particular case.
