<bot>: Hello:)Welcome to Chat Doctor. You did not mention if you are taking any blood thinners like aspirin, warfarin etc. for general health. Apply a local pressure to temporarily stop bleeding. Keep a sterile gauze or cotton over the tooth for 2-3 minutes and apply pressure with your finger. Apply cold pack in the area. I suggest you to consult your dentist to check if there is any local trauma or infection. Also get your blood test done for bleeding, clotting times, and INR. Regards.
