10 hours later my tooth socket is still bleeding. What can I do to stop it?

Wisdom teeth pulled out earlier today. 10 hours later, they are still bleeding. I went through 2 boxes full of gauze pads. What is going on? I even have an ice pack on it the whole day. I'm not a hemophiliac.

    I got mine pulled in July, and yeah, it bled all day.

    Try applying pressure, by lightly biting the gauze to keep it in place and try not to change the gauze too often because when you do you're basically pulling on the wound.

    If it's still bleeding by morning call your dentist.
