I had a single wisdom tooth removed in August this year, together with a normal, but decayed tooth next to it. After a general anaesthetic, it took about 3 to 4 weeks for the gum to settle down and for my eating to get totally back to normal. At about the 8 week point I found I had a tiny piece of bone protruding from the gum, but this came out by itself a couple of weeks later. I'm aged 62, by the way.
it depends how premature or how ready it is to be pulled out. if it is extremely lose and theres only one thred of skin still hanging on then it will not as bleed as much but if you have about one whole side of it was hanging and you pulled it out it will bleed way more. but if you lose your tooth in a piece of food you are mostly likely not to notice and it wont bleed as much also.
hope this helped :)

It depends on your age, sex and general health. Normally, about 72 hours.
One method used is to apply a tea-bag to the surgical site to help it heal. Why?
Because tea contains tanic acid, which helps shrink and heal the gum area where the tooth was pulled.
Do not use a "hot" tea bag --- lukewarm is fine. Just bite on it as you would if it were gauze and hold it for awhile. I think that will help (advice from my periodontist).
Regards and best of luck.
no
rot away and your gums bleed
This is gross, just warning you. But yes your gums can be swollen and red (because the nerves keeping the teeth intact to the gums have been pulled).
I WOULD DEFINETLY CONTACT A DOCTOR YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH THE NEXT DAY. i JUST GOT MINE OUT TODAY!
Absolutely not!!!! Blood cannot stain your teeth!!! I'm a dental hygienist!
Your gums may bleed.
well no because that is not good on your gums it can make them swell or even bleed i would'nt and it hurts
no if your gums are bleeding when you gtind your teeth you may have gum disesase consult you dentist asap !
I was told by my dentist that, contrary to instinct, when your gums bleed, you need to brush more, not less. Healthy gums should not bleed with normal brushing, along with looking a healthy pink hue.
Gargle with salt water and take a multivitamin daily.
Well, before they actually remove your teeth, the dentist will inject a numbing formula into the gums out the teeth that are to be pulled out. Pretty much that thing that hurts the most is the little prick of the needle. Don't sweat it!
Have it pulled out.
