A member asked:
I had a wisdom tooth removed 2 days ago, and it already clotted with blood. is that concerning?

Sure: The socket can start to clot in just a few hours. You want it to clot so you can heal.

Should be OK: Normal post operative healing from wisdom teeth extraction is 2-5 days. If you are concerned, contact your oral surgeon for a post operative evaluation.
