Blood/jelly clot where wisdom tooth was removed, what is the proper way to treat this?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Leave it alone: The clot allows healing to occur. Don't cause it to wash out. Please ask your oral surgeon for clot preservation instructions.

Pressure: Apply pressure if the clot is growing. Otherwise, just follow instructions from oral surgeon. Keep regular follow up appointment.
