I have found the best way to staunch the bleeding from extracted teeth...a tea bag! Make a cup of tea, give the tea to somebody and take the warm tea bag and place it firmly on the bleeding area. The warmth feels good. The tannins have an astringent effect and stop the bleeding, along with the pressure applied. It's really effective! I used it on all my wisdom teeth extractions.

I will remember to have some tea around if I knock anyone's teeth out! Good tip!
