After a tooth extraction, it's not always necessary to get a false tooth, like a dental implant or bridge. The need for a replacement tooth depends on the location of the missing tooth and your dental health goals. Discuss options with your dentist to decide if a replacement is right for you.

What are the symptoms of a blood clot after tooth extraction?

Expert opinion from Dr. Alan Thomas Charly

MBBS · 1 years of experience · India

A blood clot that forms in the extraction site during tooth extraction is a normal healing process that is essential for limiting excessive bleeding and encouraging tissue repair. However, a condition known as a dry socket may develop if a clot becomes dislodged or fails to form correctly. This disease causes symptoms including intense pain at the extraction site or throughout the jaw, visible bone within the socket, and an unpleasant taste or odour in the mouth because of the exposed wound. While these symptoms typically do not indicate a blood clot travelling within the body, a more severe condition termed embolism, any concerns or unusual symptoms following a tooth extraction should prompt immediate consultation with a dental professional.
