Clot Turned Red To White And Disappeared. Wisdom Tooth Extracted. Chlorhexidine Gluconate Applied. Suggestions?

hi ... this is asad memon from Pakistan. i got my wisdom tooth pulled on Monday at 9 PM. i had severe pain after it, got injected and then it became less. Today, when i got up i found that my clot is missing, may b i ate it while sleeping or it just dissolves? dnt knw. Anyways my question is that its been 3 days now, im feeling no pain there, i have taken care of all the precautions suggested by my dentist and still my clot disappeared, why? it turned red to white last day and it disappeared then? im rinsing with warm water after every meal and then putting a gel (Chlorohexidine Gluconate) in the extraction area. should i go and see the dentist? or is it healing as im having no pain till now? Plz tell as im baby to pain and still not eating properly for like 3 days now.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical history i suppose that your extrcation socket is showing signs of healing, there is no need to worry at all.
I would like to tell you that dry socket is extremely painful condition which is associated with bad breath and fever.
I would suggest you to follow the post extraction instructions given by the Dentist properly.



Take care!
