The doctor called to check up on her about 8 hours after the surgery, & said she needed to take the gauze off, even though there was still a bit of bleeding. Keeping the gauze on will continue to allow the blood not to fully clot, especially if you keep changing it. Heck, she had a Chik Fil A sandwich tonite (albeit, cut in very small pieces!), & she continues to stay away from straws. Good luck to you... take the gauze off, let it be. If you are spitting a lot of blood, you need to call the dentist. Hopefully you're not in pain! :-) My daughter had her 4 impacted wisdom teeth extracted about 24 hours ago.
