After following advice I found online, I put a moist tea bag on wisdom tooth extraction site. One of the teabags ripped and now I have a piece of tea on the clot. will this be a problem? should I have my dentist remove it?
Accidentally ripped tea bag after wisdom tooth extraction.?
The reason for the teabag is to help blood to clot in the area. Rinsing the area would not be a great idea especially if the extraction was within the last 24-48 hours. Wait a couple of days to let the body heal, flushing the area too soon can cause you to washout any clot that may have formed and tea leaves rinse out very easily on their own anyway. If you were using the teabag but were not really having any clotting issues you can gently rinse with some salt water and stop using the teabags. Call your dentist to follow up. They may recommend an irrigation syringe after several days to help keep the area free of any food particles and this too will help speed healing
Reply:Not a problem so don't worry about it. Good luck with your healing!
Reply:just rinse your mouth gently several times , that should dislodge it , dont try to dislodge it with ur fingers n nails. And a word with your doctor always helps in any case
