Why am i seeing black stuff after wisdom tooth extraction?

Blood clot: You could be seeing the remains of the blood clot. If you have severe pain or swelling call the oral surgeon that removed your wisdom teeth about this.

Nothing to worry: After wisdom tooth extraction, it's important for a blood clot to form to stop the bleeding and begin the healing process. When blood dries it usually truns quite dark and black in color. Get well soon.
