A small amount of red coloured fluid mixed with saliva is normal after surgery. If you have a flow of blood or if bleeding persists, look in the mirror to determine the source of the bleeding, and then place a gauze pad or a fresh moist tea bag wrapped in gauze over the bleeding spot. Bite on this, or apply pressure onto this with your finger. Repeat if necessary.
Eat soft substances like Jell-O, mashed potatoes, ice cream, and bananas. Please avoid smoking.
If there is still a flow of blood, please
notify our office.
