How Can Gum Bleeding After A Dental Procedure Be Treated?

Hi I had two teeth up the top taken out yesterday and this morning I could feel stuff falling from it I don’t think it’s gum. So I pulled a bit away and it’s soft gel and stuff should I leave it as I think it’s medication the dentist put their. But I’ve lost a lot will I get dry socket if I take it all away ???

Hello,

It can probably be a blood clot that is responsible for the healing of the extraction site. As you are removing it, complete removal can cause a dry socket.

If the tissue is coming out of the socket, you should consult your dentist to get it checked. He can either gently compress the tissue back in the socket and put a stitch over the gum.

If the clot is significantly lost, he can put a medicated dressing that will help in the healing of the extraction site and also will not let pain and infection to occur. So better get the extraction site examined soon.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
