Can't stop bleeding after surgery



I had 10 teeth extracted Wednesday (3 days ago). It took about 7-8 hrs for the
major bleeding to stop, but has been oozing blood since then and doesn't seem
to want to stop.

My surgeon recommended using moist tea bags (the tannic acid supposedly helps
blood clot) but that does not seem to be helping.

PLEASE help. Anyone have any other suggestions?
