hi Kathy,
Normally after the placement of implant bleeding does not happen to this extent.
in your case the bleeding continues for about 8 hours, this is not a good sign.
As a home measure, i suggest you to keep s firm pressure of cold gauze pack for minimum of 30 minutes, no spitting, no drinking with straw, no smoking, no gargles.
if it does not subside with all this, visit your implantologist and tell your problem. he will diagnose the cause and site of bleeding and treat you accordingly.
he may use local coagulating agent on the site of bleeding or prescribe you systemic coagulating agent depending on the severity. sometimes suturing also stops the bleeding.
regards,
Dr. vishal, Vitaldent, faridabad.

Dear Kathy,
There is no reason for a tooth to bleed after putting a dental implant. when an implant is placed the implant acts as a plug to the implant site and controls the bleeding. in your case the bleeding has been there from last 8 hours which is a cause of concern you must see the implantologist who placed the implant immediately. meanwhile you can use an ice pack (or take ice cold water dip sterilize cotton in at and bite on it). you can also use used tea bags (they should not be hot, hot things will increase the bleeding). do not talk or do any work which would cause exertion. and call up ur dentist at the earliest. good luck and take care

Dear Ma'm,
You need to take immediate action,first talk to your implantologist and discuss why bleeding did not stop.Place a wet tea bag bite firmly to apply bite pressure.Mean while if your Implantologist do not respond then rush to near by Emergency Care to any hospital.
