I had a Molar extracted last night week and the blood clot formed properly and turned white. My dentist said it was normal. After a week the blood clot is now bigger and splitting in half. Half of it is hanging off and doesn t hurt but it awkward and uncomfortable. Will it fall off on it s own or will it be hanging there until the rest of the clot is ready to come out?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to tell you that after getting extraction blood clot is seen at initial stage & later it is replaced by granulation tissue. This takes around 1 week. This process takes time & is normal sequel of healing. You need to rinse your mouth with Betadine gargles twice a day. Take medicines as prescribed by your dentist.
