How long ago was the tooth pulled? Bite on a wet tea tag at the site of extraction, and call your dr and dentist. Wet tea bags will stop bleeding normally, maybe it will slow yours down until you see the dr.

I would not stop a prescribed medication without the Dr who prescribed it saying so. Did the DDS know about the Warfarin?

Yes the DDS knew about it. As both warfarin n enoxaparin are anitcoagulants it seems the clotting is being disrupted.. Though my Dentist has adviced me to stop oral dose of warfarin still enoxaparin also being a anitcoagulant might prevent clotting.

Wow. OK, I would have you check with your Dr right away on what to do, his opinion trumps the DDS.
