Got Wisdom Tooth Extracted, Dry Socket, Tastes Like Blood While Swallowing. Any Ideas?
I got my wisdom tooth out two days ago and I am just worried I'll have a dry socket. Nothing is out of the ordinary and I have been taking care of it. This is my second time getting my tooth out and it's less painful than the first. I am only worried because when I swallow, it still tastes a little like blood. Can you explain this?

Hi,
Nothing to worry, there might be some sloughs, causing raw area and oozing of blood initially for 3-4 days.
At present healing in the wound takes place.
Do antiseptic lotion gargles.
Avoid chewing hard stuff on that site.
Ok and take care.

Thanks for asking your query
It is normal to have blood taste in saliva for a few days after your extractions.just follow the post operative instructions that has been recommended by your dentist.if your doubtful ,then get it checked.
TAKE CARE home remedies:
Gargle your mouth with warm salt water after every meal.
Brushing and flossing your teeth without touching the extraction socket.
if mouthwash was prescribed then gargle it twice a day.
maintain good oral hygiene,stay hydrated.
Hope it helps you,
