4 wisdom teeth extracted?

Question

All four of my wisdom teeth were extracted yesterday. The bleeding has stopped and I am gently rinsing with warm salt water. I'm doing everything they told me. While rinsing, I saw what looked like a blood clot. Is it bad it came out??? Can that lead to dry Socket???

Answer 1

if it looked like a blood clot id call the dentist or oral surgeon to make sure and see what they think.

and yes it can lead to dry socket.

so i highly suggest u call the dentist or oral surgeon.

Answer 2

dont get too paranoid. Just be normal & do your work & leave it alone. Dont keep thinking about it or you will get more worried. Since you are doing all what the dentist has instructed you, you will have no problems. If you get dry socket too its not a big problem. Take what medications the dentist has prescribed. All the best.
