A member asked:
After extraction never had dark blood covering, just small hole with light blood been 24 hrs after bottom 2cd molar extracted, hole smaller and sunk ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healing socket: After an extraction, especially as viewed as a patient rather than as a dentist, the socket has many different appearances. Unless you develop increasing pain or swelling, or fever I wouldn't be concerned. If you have further questions or anything changes consult the dentist who actually extracted your teeth.
