Bleeding while using dentures is not common. The best solution is to see your dentist and talk about this problem. Often small denture adjustments done in the office will solve the problem. Usually, the problem lies in dentures not fitting well. It could be that you will need a new better fitting denture.

Hello. Yes it’s normal in the first few days after extractions and dentures placed. If you’re on blood thinners, contact your MD that placed you on the medication. It also depends on how much your bleeding. Hard to quantify via email what volume is “normal” per say. Seeping is normal, but apply mild pressure biting on gauze or any paper towel for at least 15 minutes. Then check for seeping blood again. If blood is squirting out go to the ER.
Essentially, pressure and time typically stops bleeding if not on blood thinners. Ask more questions if you have them.

P.S. Yes try and contact your dentist or oral surgeon for advice if none was given post op.

Rinse with warm salt water and have the dentures adjusted. So that they no longer rub on the sore spot.
Bring your denture to your dentist to be adjusted.
A person wearing dentures should never have any bleeding. If there is blessing you should go to see a Dentist it could be an infection

It could be from poor fitting dentures. Best to leave denture out and seek
dental evaluation to determine the cause.
