Tooth extraction blood clot lost on day 2?
I had 4 teeth extracted in order to get braces (Which i'm getting n Friday excited :)) But if your blood clot is lost (how did you do that) then you may get dry socket but it is day 2 so it may not matter. Just if you get any unbearable pain go to the dentists STRAIGHT away :) Good Luck xx
Day 5 after tooth extraction and I think I lost my blood clot?
I think I lost my blood clot last night, but the only pain I seem to have right now is from an ulcer between my gum and cheek. Am I safe from dry socket? The wound looks like it still has a little clot in it and is not as big of a hole so I am guessing it is healing. I have been doing my salt water rinses and no straw or soda, but am concerned about getting dry socket. I do have a lot of pain, but like I said I believe it is from the ulcer on my cheek and then a sore under my tongue. I want to use something on the sore, but am concerned because it is right by the extraction site. Any advice on the dry socket or sores would be helpful.
If I lost my blood clot from a tooth extraction on the 5th or 6th day am I in the clear for dry socket?
This morning was day 6 since my tooth extraction. I have been very paranoid about DRY SOCKET. Anyhow this morning I was getting ready to take a motrin because my other tooth was hurting. The motrin didn't go down all the way I almost choked, and to prevent spraying all over the place I forced it back down by swallowing again. During this time I felt major suction by my "Hole" where my tooth used to be....when I looked I saw no clot. Still a little white stuff but, most of the white stuff that was there is now not there....uhg.....When am I safe from dry socket? Or when is it safe for the clot to come out without causing more problems?
Regarding a blood clot after wisdom tooth extraction, if I lose a little piece of the top but I'm still bleeding, should I worry about a dry socket?
As far as dry socket is concerned more blood is better than less blood. What you need to do now is the hardest thing a patient ever has to do.DO NOTHING!Most dry sockets are caused by loss of the blood clot or the poor condition of the patient in general. I usually see them in patients who fiddle (You maybe) or patients who are so unwell and so corrupt that pretty much anything will go wrong. We have in our community a species of humans called “bogans” (see the photo below). They drink a lot, smoke a lot and do a lot of amphetamines and dope. Dry socket city. And of course they are always bewildered when things go pear shaped and it is never their fault.Years ago I started to tell patients not to rinse with hot salty water. I did this after searching the literature for any articles relating to this practice. I could not find any. It is an old wives tale. My dry socket rate dropped to almost zero.The other factor I suspect is the amount of adrenaline containing local anaesthetic is used at the site. This can shut down the blood supply and cause a lack of bleeding in the area. At least until it wears off in which case it may be too late.

What can I do if a blood clot came out of my wisdom tooth extraction?
It’s sometimes difficult to understand whether we the Dental professionals are educating the public or misinforming them about oral hygiene and dentistry at large particularly on social media.I wonder the reason people relying more on social media than on their doctor. Critics of my answers find them derogatory and sarcastic. But I am proved right most of the times.Now, as far as this query is concerned, forget the patient even the treating doctor would find it difficult to see clot getting dislodged.My sincere aim in answering such questions on Quora is to educate the public and allay their apprehensions.The social media is not the ideal platform to look for remedy of any health issues. The medical science is based upon history, clinical examination and investigations.The blood clot usually disintegrates (if it’s to happen) on 2nd or 3rd postoperative day.The clot disintegrates and dissolve due to various pathological factors. It doesn’t come out a single piece. Neither does it bleed after the primary clot dislodge.The doctor would find the wound dehiscence and greyish yellow extracted tooth socket, surgical wound wide open and the patient would complain of excruciating pain not relieved with stongest painkillers.Any patient lacking severe pain should worry the least.If Patient experiences pain, foul odor, he must contact his doctor immediately. Because the patient is most likely having “Dry Socket”.The Treatment includes to cover the bare socket and promote healing by local measures.To summarize Dry socket is one of the frequent complications of surgical/ traumatic extraction of any Mandibular tooth particularly wisdom tooth. The condition is treated within 5–7 days on medical intervention.Self medication or diagnosis must be discouraged.I hope my answer would help the person asking for it and the public at large.
Blood clot fell out after third day of tooth extraction?
First of all get rid of the clot, it won't help once it's fell out. Not everyone who has teeth extracted will develop dry socket, but you are very high risk due to the clot coming out. If your not in pain right now, then no worries. If you start to experience pain try taking some ibuprofen 800mg, this will help with any inflammation. You can apply a few drops of clover oil. This is the same thing that the dentist will be packing the hole with. If the pains just to much to handle (it can be horrible) you may need to visit your local ER or urgent care center. They will be able to give you prescription pain meds and possible pack the extraction hole. This will get you by until you call your dentist on Monday. GOOD LUCK and I hope you stay pain free!!
How long after tooth extraction do blood clots typically fall out?
Hmmm....so now is your tooth's socket empty? can you see the bone in the socket? Because blood clots are not supposed to dislodge. Typically, when it does happen, loss of blood clots occur after about 24 hours. But I'm talking about complete loss of the clot so that your socket walls are bare. This is referred to as alveolar osteitis or dry socket. But this is an extremely painful condition. However, if its you're concerned about you blood tinted saliva, it is normal. Don't worry, the socket takes about a week to heal. If you have pain, go to your dentist immediately.
