Needing expert help. i have this blood socket in my molar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What do you mean?: I'm not sure what you are referring to. A bloody socket means the tooth has been removed and it is healing normally. If you still have the molar, yet have a bloody area associated with it, it could be many things: abscess from gum disease or extensive decay, cyst, benign or malignant tumor--so obviously, we need more information. Please see your dentist asap.
