When To Remove Gauze After Wisdom Teeth Extraction ?

I just had four wisdom teeth extracted almost 48 hrs ago. Bleeding appears to have slowed down, but I keep putting gauze over the extraction sites. How long do I continue placing gauze in those sites? Does that destroy the blot clot in that area if I continue to do so or should I leave it open while eating?
