I had a supernumeracy tooth removed from the bottom of my mouth,they also took out to teeth which were infected i had a blood clot and have been rinsing with salt water as advised however the blood clot has now disappeared and i have a massive hole i have rang the dentist and they said it can be normal for the clot to dislodge however i now have a dull ache along my gum line, any suggestions?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Early dislodgement of the blood clot can sometimes delay the healing of the tooth socket. I would advise you to AVOID vigorous gargling of the mouth, though you should continue with salt water gargling. Take the medicines as prescribed by the dentist. If the pain increases or persists, get it reviewed by the dentist to rule out any infection( Chat Doctor. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
