Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of hole in the gum after tooth extraction which is part of normal healing. Do Not dislodge it as it can result in Chat Doctor.  I would suggest you not to spit and swish or rinse forcefully so that clot will not dislodge. For now maintain proper oral hygiene and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Follow all post op instructions. If any pain or swelling occurs consult dentist for proper examination and rule out other causes. Doctor may irrigate the socket for 3-4 days regularly and may prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
