I had two lower impacted wisdom teeth removed. is it normal to bleed little when gently rinsing with saltwater

i had my teeth removed 3 days ago..when i rinse gently with salt water in morning theres little brown spit in water (sorry to gross anyone out). my parents say it is normal and i have no elevating pain but i was wondering if it is normal. also does anyone know how to brush teeth because my face is really swollen so i cant brush my upper teeth and im afraid i might get cavities. any comments would be appreciated! :)

Yeah that's normal. My widsom teeth still bled little bits up to a week after my surgery. Just brush your teeth slowly and as best u can, if it hurts, just brush a little and use lots of mouth wash. the swelling will go down in a couple days and then u can brush them better.
Reply:use peroxide and vinger water
Reply:its normal, brush very carefully, but you prob wont get a cavity in a couple weeks just from less than perfect brushing! And salt water is fine and natural germ killer. Peroxide i would not put that in my mouth!!!
Reply:YES, use at least a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water.
Reply:Light bleeding for upto 24 hours is normal. However, control of bleeding. A pack made from a damp folded sterile gauze pad should be placed over the bleeding wound, under firm biting pressure. It is important that this pack stay in place, under pressure, to control bleeding and to encourage clot formation for 15 minutes by the clock. If the bleeding has not stopped when the original pack is removed, place a new gauze pad over the extraction site and exert pressure by biting for another 15 minutes. If you run out of gauze packs, tea bags are good. Report persistent bleeding to your dentist.





Pain control. You should not take medication that contains aspirin if you are experiencing any post-operative bleeding.





Encouraging healing. After the first 24 hours, it is advisable to rinse gently with very warm salty water every two hours (one level teaspoon of salt to a small glass of very warm water). Do this for 3-4 days.
