The tannic acid of the tea-bag is a mild coagulant so it stops bleeding and is slightly astringent and it is also slightly bactericidal. The 'hot pink' is probably erythromycin...an antibiotic, the other is probably a pain reliever. I am sure your oral surgeon would have explained all of this, if you had asked.
Reply:It forms a small blood clot.
Reply:if you are using the tea bags and they are working then what do you want us to say to you=
Reply:I'm not sure why either. Probably have to do with what's in the leaves. Heard that tabacco will stop bleeding from cuts fast also. But I would just keep biting on the little cotton rolls and take the meds that your dentist prescribed. You'll be fine.
Reply:Chemical compounds in the tea leaves constrict the blood vessels and slow or stop the bleeding.
Reply:If bleeding persists after a few hours, a moistened teabag placed between the wounds can help. Tannic acid in the tea will help stop any bleeding.

AS SEVERAL PEOPLE CORRECTLY WROTE, A COLD TEABAG CONTAINS TANNINS AND THESE SERVE AS MILD COAGULANTS THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR GENERATIONS FOR AREAS WHERE CONTROL OF BLEEDING WAS NECESSARY.
