Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The possible cause for the bleeding from the extracted site could be infection of the gums secondary to the deposits or any chronic irritation to the gums or the other cause could be bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenic purpura.
Consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned once. Get your complete blood investigations done including INR, to rule out any bleeding disorders. You can use topical gum astringent like stolin gum paint over the bleeding gums, which prevents bleeding.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
