Hey guys, got my dental implant yesterday and the bleeding seems like... kinda more than I expected? Dentist said some bleeding is normal, but I'm wondering how much is "some." Like, gauze after gauze normal or just a little pink spit, you know? Just curious how it went for everyone else here.
Quick poll:
After your dental implant, how long did the bleeding last for you?
- A couple hours tops
- Most of the day
- Into the next day or longer
- Barely any bleeding at all
Mine lasted into the next day, and yeah, I was changing gauze pretty often at first. But maybe check if you're biting down firmly enough? My dentist said consistent pressure helps control bleeding. Still, everyone's healing is different... if you're worried it's more than just "some," might be worth a quick call to ease your mind. Better safe than sorry, right?
Yeah, mine was pretty similar. I remember feeling like a vampire with all that gauze swapping, lol. My dentist also emphasized the pressure thing, but honestly, it still took a good day and a half before things settled down. Everyone's mouth seems to have its own timeline, y'know? But if you're stressing about it, definitely doesn't hurt to get some peace of mind from your dentist—been there myself.
