As soon as I got home from the dentist I went straight to bed and slept for about 6 hours. When I got up the gauze was still there. it hurt a little to remove it because it was dried out, so maybe if you put a little water on it to loosen it it should be fine. I was still fine it didnt cause any problems just a little pain in removing it because it was dry.

What if I stop using gauze pads after tooth extraction?
The gauze pads absorb the blood from the wound after the extraction so that you don't have blood floating around in your mouth, swallowing it or possibly dripping out. Your dentist should have given you several pads to use and you should change the pad when it is saturated with blood. If the bleeding has stopped, it should be ok to stop using it. If the bleeding continues or gets worse you should call your dentist.

Why causes the socket after tooth extraction to turn black?
Naturally, it depends upon "which" extraction --- however, in the normal course of things, it should appear somewhat "depressed", and should be the same color of the rest of your gums. If bleeding continues, try biting down on a warm tea bag instead of "gauze". Why? Because tea contains "tanic acid", which helps heal and shrink the gum.

What do you do after a tooth extraction and how long will it bleed for?
after a tooth extraction just be careful not to disturb the clot formation process....by sipping through a straw,smoking,rinsing.and spiting...the quicker the clot gets formed the faster the bleeding will stop....typically by applying pressure on the extraction site by biting on the gauze given by the doctor and holding it for 45mins to 1hour reduces the bleeding till gradually its gone...if bleeding gets worse check with your doctor
