I haven't had my wisdom teeth extracted, but a friend of mine did, and her face was bruised for about a week, she could hardly eat or talk, but no much bleeding. I can only suppose slight bleeding to be normal for a little while; until the place heals, it might be a bit sensitive.. take care!

Yes, swelling and bleeding is normal. Unless the bleeding is excesive. I had my wisdom teeth cut out and my face was swollen and a little bruised, but I'm a good healer so I only bleed for a couple hours that day. Just make sure you aren't doing something that your not supposed to be doing which could cause damage. Be careful is what I'm saying.

If I were you and I was still bleeding, I would call the doctor. I am not an expert by any means, but It has been three days. I think I only bled for a day, and I had no stiches. You do not want this to turn into a problem over Christams vacation.
