A member asked:
A large blood clot developed after my gingivectomy. what should i do? should i remove it?

Large blood clot: No! Don't remove it as it may induce more bleeding. "Large" to you may still be within normal limits. Call your dentist for advice. He/she may or may not want to see you to evaluate it in person.
