Today, 8 days after 2 wisdom teeth got removed on the right side, I lost a blood clot. I was rinsing with salt water before the dentist gave me chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash. Was that a mistake. Im very scared. What should I do and when will I start to feel any signs of pain
Hi....than for your query.  The risk of blood clot dislodgement is high within 24 hours of extraction. There are many reasons of blood clot dislodgement like repeatedly rinsing your mouth, sucking, hot food consumption, touching with tongue again and again. If you have used warm saline rinse within 24 hrs of removal of tooth then it may be a cause of blood clot dislodgement. If there is no problem then u should not worry about it. But if u feel any problem then surely go to your dentist he will treat accordingly.
