Wisdom tooth extraction question?

I had oral surgery to get a wisdom tooth out yesterday. At night I had a glass of milk but probably drank it too fast bc I got very strong pain afterwards, so I called my dentist, he told me it was probably the blood clot that got dislodged. Does anyone know what happens if the blood clot gets dislodged?

If it is a continuous, deep-seated, throbbing kind of pain, then you probably are suffering from dry socket due to loss of blood clot, exposing the the bony surface of your socket which is extremely sensitive. It is however, not associated with any infection. I suggest you go back to your dentist to have your socket cleaned and dressed (usually with alveogel). Meanwhile, maintain a good oral hygiene as well, this will accelerate the healing of your socket. =)
Reply:you bleed for a bit then another clot forms to fill the hole that the tooth came from.
Reply:Yeah I had all 4 of mine taken out about 2 years ago and let me tell you it was the worst pain everrr..... If the blood clot comes unlodged it will just form another blood clot so not to worry just make sure you have your stock of vicotin for the pain!
Reply:Normally it will cause some more bleeding and delay the healing process.





Suggest you eat some ice cream. In fact, as much as you like and move a bit to that section of your mouth where the extraction wound is located. The coldness will help blood clotting and healing.
