Is it normal for bleeding after wisdom tooth being pulled?

So I got one wisdom tooth pulled on Saturday (1/10) and it hasn't bled at all until today (1/15) but it's been constantly bleeding since a couple hours ago. I rinsed my mouth out with warm salt water and it stopped for twenty minutes but it's starting back up again. When I called my dentist he said it was normal to bleed because the debris in there and infection and for me to call him if it is consistently bleeding. I know the whole healing process is around three months and things will happen but would this be considered constantly bleeding? I have gauze in my mouth and I'm trying not to move it as much as possible.

I'm a bit worried, any help and info is appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Thank you

I have had mine out as well as my rear molar. If you move your mouth too much, the clot will come out and it will start to bleed again. Keep it CLEAN and keep it dry and you should be fine. If your really panicked, go see the doc. They shouldn't charge for a follow up.

they're declaring it is common. i did not swell in any respect although when I had mine 2 pulled out 2 weeks in the past (perfect excellent and bottom), yet I kept ice on my face for like 6-7 hours after the surgical procedure. At this element, you're extra ideal off with warmth towel although - ice is efficient really in the first hours afterwards... i wish you experience extra ideal quickly.
