Blood clots: If this was an excess blood clot and the socket is still filled with a blood clot, there is nothing to be concerned about. If you are still bleeding, use a sterile gauze or a wet teabag to cover the area for 45 minutes. In the morning call you own dentist to discuss this event and ask if you you need to be seen to have it evaluated for normal healing.

Do not panic : Place a gauze pack over the area and bite firmly it will control blood clots. Making sure the gauze remain in place. If oozing is still active, replace gauze as needed every 30-45 minutes. Be careful not to dislodge the blood clot from now on when brushing near the extraction site for 3-4 days. You can carefully wipe the area with a clean, wet gauze pad. Good luck.
