Question 1

i had a molar extraction early yesterday, the clot formed i don't know if it dislodged but it sunk to the bottom of the socket, but no extra pain?

Accepted Answer

No pain: Good sign. If you have increasing pain, foul taste, foul odor, swelling, excess bleeding, contact your General Dentist or the specialist Oral Surgeon that did your surgery. He/she is the practitioner that knows your situation best, and the practitioner that is responsible for your post-surgical care.

Question 2

im 10 days post op (first molar extraction) and i feel like the top clot has broken down leaving me with a red hole. should i worry? i do not have pain?

Accepted Answer

: After 10 days you should be fine.

Question 3

i had a molar extraction two days ago the blood clot appears black with a cloudy white substance on the clot is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Any pain?: the real concern is whether any discomfort or pain is associated with the clot.  If there is no discomfort or pain , most likely normal healing will occur.  I do not know what the white substance is.  Perhaps food debris, perhaps some yeast.

Question 4

8 days after a very difficult tooth extraction of a lower molar my blood clot came out while rinsing. what should i do? the pain hasn't got much worse

Accepted Answer

Molar extraction: As long as you don't have much pain, i'm not worried about a dry socket.  Eight days out, i think you should only get better from here.  Feel better.

Question 5

i had a tooth extraction of a decayed molar 4 days ago. is white yellowish color on top of the clot normal? or should i fear dry socket.

Accepted Answer

No problem: Normal healing process. As long as it is covered no worries about dry socket. Dry socket occurs when clot is lost and socket is empty and open, then must heal from bottom

Question 6

blood clot fell out of tooth extraction site. what do i do? had surgery 8 hours ago and did not bleed much and now my blood clot fell out and i'm worried about dry socket. it's in the rear bottom molar.

Accepted Answer

This : This is a good question.

How are you feeling today? Are you in a lot of pain? Is the area extremely sore or sensitive?
If not, then you may be fine regarding the dry socket concern you have.

Just because the clot was dislodged does not mean you will have a dry socket issue. Give it a day if you are not in extreme pain, otherwise call your dentist and have him/her evaluate your condition.

Question 7

i had a double tooth extraction three days ago (one wisdom and one molar) both at the back of my mouth. the pain since then has become much worse -i cant tell if the blood clot has formed but i am experiencing bad breath and jaw pain.is this normal?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

do you think i should be concerned about my blood clot falling out 9 days after my tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

Normal healing: If you haven't pain, swelling or bleeding, i would not be concerned.

Question 9

i got a wisdom tooth extraction on the left side of my mouth about 2 weeks ago. i no longer feel pain when i eat but the gum where i got my wisdom tooth removed keeps on moving side to side when i eat. what's the treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

: The excess tissue will most likely shrink over time. If it doesn't your surgeon can trim away the gingiva.

Question 10

how long should the pain last after a molar extraction?

Accepted Answer

Really varies: After a simple extraction, the answer is not very long at all. If complex surgery or complications were involved it could be days. If the pain seems to be getting worse several days after the extraction, it could be a dry socket which will require additional treatment.
