<human>: 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?
<bot>: 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. Consult your dentist for further query. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
