After Wisdom Tooth Removal Surgery, to ensure a proper recovery on the surgery wound, we would recommend to go through the below tips 

1. Bleeding management
   • Bite on the gauze for 30 minutes and throw away after. Usually, the bleeding will stop after 30 minutes. You can also bite on moist teabags as tea contains tannic acid that helps to stop bleeding.
   • Slight oozing of blood in the first 24 hours is normal. Do not keep changing the gauze as this will remove the clotted blood and bleeding might start again. Just leave it and it will eventually stops bleeding.
