What happens

  1. The area is fully numbed; you feel pressure but shouldn’t feel pain.

  2. If you take blood thinners or have a medical condition, say so before starting.

Afterwards

  1. Bite firmly on the gauze for 30–45 minutes.

  2. For 24 hours don’t rinse, spit, use a straw or smoke, so the blood clot stays in place.

  3. On the first day eat soft, cool food and chew on the other side.

  4. Bleeding that won’t stop with gauze pressure, growing swelling or fever: call the same day.
