1. Apply firm pressure to the tooth socket using a piece of rolled up clean gauze.
2. Place the gauze over the socket and bite firmly without releasing the pressure for 30 mins.
3. If the pressure does not reduce the bleeding, or the bleeding persists after two to three 30 minute attempts, please contact Dr Hyam via the rooms or Canberra Hospital.

If you have pain:

If you have pain in the first 72 hours after your procedure follow this link.
