Please help! just had a molar out 3 hours ago and a few little clots have come out. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Molar extraction: You shouldn't be worried. Don't rinse for 24 hours after an extraction. You can bit on gauze if there is excessive bleeding. Oozing of some blood is normal after an extraction. Call your dentist if you have any concerns.

I had a lower molar removed 56 hours ago. I continue to rinse w/salt water solution. It looks like there is thin white coating over the clot. Normal?

About 22 hours ago I had a lower molar pulled (#30), this morning I've noticed that the blood clot looks smaller and there is some white/yellowish stuff around the inside of the extraction. I heard this could be granulation tissue, but would it form this
