A member asked:
Blood clot came out after 3 days. how will i know if i get a dry socket?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood clot: A dry socket is extremely painful. If little or no pain, you probably don't have a dry socket. Don't hesitate to call your dentist or surgeon for post-op advice and a follow-up exam.
