I have this strange large blood clot after tooth extraction, what oculd this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slow leakage: These are formally known as an exophtic hematoma, aka "liver clot." they occur when inadequate hemostasis, such as biting on a sterile gauze, is not maintained long enough. The bleeding continues at a slow pace and then the blood coagulates outside of the socket.
