Post extraction socket care

(A) A fresh extraction site will bleed excessively unless a gauze pack is properly positioned. (B) A large or malpositioned gauze pack is not effective in controlling bleeding because the pressure of biting is not precisely directed onto the socket. (C) A small gauze pack is placed to fit only into the area of extraction; this permits pressure to be applied directly on the bleeding socket.
