After Extraction Care
by kimmii, Sep 09, 2009 11:42PM
I had an extraction 2 days ago.
Ive been keeping the site covered with a cotton bud with drops of saline in it, everytime i eat/drink anything other than water.
It isnt irritating me and seems to be red like blood where the tooth was removed.
Does that mean theres a blood clot there?
I do not want dry socket.
