    Yes, it's normal. The saliva is unusual but a nerve was probably hit that produces it.
    Are you following the instructions you were given for brushing the gum and gargling salt water?

    You are supposed to brush gently right on the spot where it was pulled. In fact that is very important. It keeps the gum clean so that infection doesn't move in.
    Take a good look at it in a mirror with a flashlight - how does it look?
