i just had 5 teeth removed on friday (now being monday) im still having some small blood in my saliva. just wondering if thats normal??

Bleeding following tooth removal and general oral surgery is completely normal for the first 24 hrs.  It is uncommon to have any residual bleeding unless the surgical site is directly traumatized and disturbed.

You should definitely see the treating doctor and have them check it out just to be safe.

I recently has my wisdom teeth removed on wends and i still sometimes fins a little red in my saliva so i think it is common, especially if you have had stitches
