A member asked:
Just had a tooth extraction yesterday and i accidentally sucked out the blood clot. is this bad?

Maybe: It can lead to a dry socket. Keep it clean and you should be ok. It will take longer to heal, because now it can only heal from the bottom of the socket to the top. With the clot in place it heals from both areas and in between. Any problems, call your dentist. Good luck.
