Usually they are slowly dissolved and resorbed by the body in the weeks following the extraction as the surgical site is healing. Smoking, swishing water, or sucking on a straw immediately after an extraction can cause a blood clot to fall out and can result in a painful condition known as a "dry socket".

∙ 14y agoThe clots should fall out after 3 days. Any sooner than that and you can get dry socket. This is not a dangerous thing BUT it is painful. I would say the clots should be in for 5-7 days. Make sure you go to your follow up appointment and for any questions you have call your doctor.

What is a dry socket?
Dry socket is a layman's term for alveolar osteitis. The alveolus is the part of the jawbone that supports the teeth, and osteitis means simply "bone inflammation". It is a post-operative complication of tooth extraction. It occurs when the newly formed blood clot in the extraction site is prematurely lost or disrupted or doesn't form correctly and hence there is a delay in the normal healing process. Alveolar osteitis is a painful phenomenon that most commonly occurs a few days following the removal of mandibular teeth.(usually third molar) To avoid this, do not smoke or use contraceptives (oral contraceptive extractions should be performed during days 23 through 28 of the tablet cycle), don't drink through a straw, dont spit or rinse too much, and maintain good oral hygiene and keep the area clean with a soft tooth brush. Return to your dentist if you have a bad taste or smell in your mouth. I think that's about it. Hope it helps.
