A member asked:
What do i do if my clot fell out after a wisdom tooth extraction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If painful,: You need to return to the dentist so that the socket can be packed with a dressing. If bone is exposed and there is severe pain, it could be dry socket. If no pain, there is likely enough residual clot covering the socket. Best to ask the dentist who did the extraction.
