About an hour after I got my 4 wisdom teeth extracted, my mouth was feeling really dry from the gauze pads so I took some water and let it run slowly out of my mouth (did not spit the water out). Some blood came out and then a dark-red blood clot also came out that was about a square centimeter. Did I just lose one of the clots where the root was, and put myself up for dry socket? It's been about 15 hours since that happened and I'm not bleeding anymore. As of now, most of the swelling and pain went away (minus a sore throat, which I heard is common). It seems like I'm recovering well but I'm really scared I'll get a dry socket because of that clot that I lost.
