Hi, I just had a tooth extracted, bottom molar (#19) and it was about 13 hours ago. I am still feeling numbness, but that is not the biggest concern because it is slowly going away. I have always had trouble clotting and the oral surgeon put collagen in this time to help it clot? I'm not sure what that all means. Anyhow, it bled for hours, even though I was using gauze properly for 30-40 minute periods. Finally, all blood stopped. However, I don't think I have a clot. I have seen clots before and this doesn't look like my many other extractions. I shined a flashlight on it and it is brown, white and flat. There is no hole in the extraction site, but it's not a clot either. Should I go back to the oral surgeon tomorrow or should I wait two days. I am just wondering if he can do something as to form a clot. I have trigeminal neuralgia and dental visits are so terrifying to me, but pain is worse. I have taken abided by all advise from office. I only drank cold drinks and NOT from a straw. I have only had cold pudding, jello and a mashed up banana today. I have not spit, rinsed or brushed my teeth. Any words of wisdom?? I feel like crying. Pain in any part of my mouth will trigger my Trigeminal Neuralgia.
