I just got my tooth pulled?

I got my tooth pulled. Im still numb. Im biting on a tea bag right now. Is there anything that would help stop the bleeding more quickly? I can't to a salt water wash untill tomorrow. Thanks!

Answer:
I actually work for a dentist...there's not really anything else you can do. Just keep applying pressure with gauze...we recommend the tea bag as well. Don't smoke & don't drink through a straw - it'll pull the clot out that helps it STOP bleeding and you could get a dry socket which is very painful! Good luck!
Acutally the best thing to do, is to just leave it alone... no tea bag..etc.. .. it will stop in a few hours! Don't worry!
im not a dentist or even an adult...but i think if u bite (place) a guaze pad on there it would help. try it if it works tell me if not still tell me! lol
well keep applying pressure with gauze for a while usually bleeding stops by that but if it doesnt stops by that aswell keep biting on a teabag it also stops bleeding and follow all the instructions given by your dentist, do not smoke or have any hot food stuff ,avoid brushing that area .
if bleeding doesnt stops for hours than consult your dentist.
