Question 1

1st and 2nd molar removed yesterday. started rinsing today ,tonight doesn't look like blood clot is in one of extraction sites. looks whitish grey.

Accepted Answer

Dry socket: You could have alveolar osteitis...aka dry socket. If you are not in pain then I wouldn't worry too much about the looks yet. If you start getting an intense pain, follow up with your doctor for routine follow up and if you have dry socket they will pack the extraction site with dry socket paste.... Follow up with your doctor if you are concerned.

Extraction: You should have received post-op instructions After your teeth were extracted.
 Bite on gauze or a wet teabag to stop the bleeding. Call your dentist or surgeon to see them for a post- op exam, especially if the bleeding does not stop.

Question 4

Dry Socket: You may have dry socket. You'll need to go back to your dentist for follow up care. A medicinal paste will be placed on gauze and inserted into the wound. This will help with the pain and speed up the healing process.

Accepted Answer

No: No. At one week should be no problem. If serious pain starts - dry socket. Then see dentist.

Question 7

dislodged my blood clot a week after wisom tooth extraction. will i be okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most likely gone at one week, but use caution: age 43 is not 18--dry docket more likely. It will take you longer to heal. Keep mouth clean, floss, brush, do not smoke. See your dentist/surgeon asap if you develop pain or swelling. Good luck.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Clot: Blood clot may come out after one week of tooth extarction

after an extraction, if i lose my blood clot, will it bleed?

No bleeding: You will probably not have any bleeding after losing the clot, because the clot is the result of the stoppage of bleeding. You will have a dry socket, and that is usually quite painful.
