What Is The Cause Of A Hanging Bag Of Tissue With Blood After Tooth Extraction?

Hi, I just had a top molar extracted almost 4 hours ago. There was some initial blood (had to bite down on gauze for 10 minutes at the dentist's office), but now at the extraction site there's a hanging bag of bloody tissue. Is this something to be worried about?

Hi
Welcome to HCM
I read your query this hanging bag of blood tissue must be nothing but a blood clot. Dont worry its a part of healing dont wash it away and follow the instructions what doctor has given you.
Thank you
