Clot: That maybe very normal I would not try to dislodge any clot and make sure if you are taking med keep at it. Have your doctor evaluate for possible infraction or bone fragments.

Liver clot: Your question is unclear. What do you mean by "liver clot"? did you have a thrombotic event prior to your dental extraction? How do you know you have a "clot"? Do you have a history of clots? how have you been treated in the past? We don't even know your age, let alone your medical history which would make it nearly impossible to answer your question.

"Liver clot": also called "currant jelly clot" are red, jellylike clot that is rich in hemoglobin from erythrocytes within the clot. This is a rare periodontal post-extraction complication. The periodontal pack usually used as an aid in stopping the bleeding and protecting the socket. See your dentist for treatment.

Remove: Liver clots continue to ooze blood and do not allow a normal clot to form. Usually they must be removed to get the fibrin clot that will heal properly.

"liver clot": Call the dentist\surgeon who treated you for advice. Based upon your medical and dental history your own dentist will probably want to see you to evaluate this clot and then advise you what, if anything, needs to be done. This is part of normal routine aftercare and the responsibility of your treating doctor. It's your responsibility to call him\her for advice.
