it's not uncommon to have them bleed several days.
use the cotten gauze and bite on it in the areas where they were bleeding.
you should also provide us with more details.
how many teeth, uppers or lowers? how much blood, are you on meds, etc.

take a teabag and dip it into warm water then place it over the area where
there's bleeding -- this usually will help stop the bleeding. are you
taking aspirin or something else for pain? sometimes these medicines can
interefere with bleeding. most important, CHECK WITH YOUR DENTIST; CALL
HIM/HER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM!!

Never take aspirin if you are bleeding. Tylenol is OK.
