It is common to have slight bleeding for a few hours after gum graft surgery. Do not rinse or clean the teeth next to the surgical site. This can wash away to newly formed clot of blood and restart the bleeding. If bleeding persists, apply a moist tea bag to the surgical site with gentle pressure for 30 minutes.
Usually 2-3 days
