im OK for now, pain wise (i Chat Icon Vicodin). But i was wondering how long you bled for. I'm still soaking the gauze, and its been about 9 hours. it is soaking slowly (i change it every three), but was just intersted to hear some other experiences.

TIA Chat Icon

I feel for you, I had mine out a few months ago and I was miserable Chat Icon
I bled the first day and that was it. Sometimes if I ate something that required a lot of chewing it would start a little bit, but the gauze helped a lot. By the 3rd day I didn't bleed at all although I was still having some pain. Keep taking those Vicoden if you can for the next 2 days so the pain doesnt come back with a vengance! Oh yeah, and make sure you are taking stool softener with the vicoden or that "pain" will be worse than the teeth Chat Icon

Hope your feeling better!
