A member asked:
Can a blood clot be lost on 4th day after tooth extraction?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Follow instructions given after the procedure. A dry socket is extremely painful if the clot is lost.

Not likely: The blood clot begins to organize into normal tissue. By the forth day it should be fairly stable unless you have done something to it to cause it to dislodge.
