A member asked:
Had one of my upper wisdom teeth pulled just over 24 hours ago and i'm noticing that part of whatever is covering the hole is coming loose. am i going to develop a dry socket? i'm not in any pain as it's still over the hole hanging on by one side.

Blood Clot: It is most likely the blood clot that formed following the extraction. Do not play with it and do not gargle or disturb it.
