Is it possible to get a blood clot traveling through the body after Wisdom Teeth extraction?
Obese people have an increased risk of thrombosis, which is a blood clot traveling through the body, after wisdom tooth extraction.
Why cant you rinse with salt water for the first 24 hours after a tooth extraction?
When you have a tooth extracted, the blood needs to clot for healing purposes. Rinsing with salt water can hinder the formation of a blood clot; this is why rinsing is not recommended in the first 24 hours after an extraction.
Blood clot wisdom teeth?
Blood clots generally form after your wisdom tooth extraction within thirty to sixty minutes.
Can blood clots be white in reference to wisdom tooth extraction socket?
Yes, clots can be white in color. After a tooth is extracted, the tooth socket fills with blood and a clot forms. Just like any wound heals with a "scab" if you will. A blood clot has several components (ingredients) in it. The red blood cells tend to wash away in the mouth, with post-extraction care like rinsing. What remains is the fibrin part of the clot, which appears "white" in the mouth.

The important thing is to avoid anything that will dislodge the blood clot in the extraction site. Premature loss of the blood clot can result in a very painful condition called a "dry socket".Avoid any unnecessary vigorous sucking or spitting for at least the first week following an extraction.
Can a tooth extraction cause a stroke?
A stroke, or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), is a either the result of a clot in a blood vessel in the brain or a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. With a rupture accident, the wall of the vessel is at fault and no, a tooth extraction cannot cause that. When a tooth is extracted, the clot that forms is limited to the boney socket where the tooth roots used to be. The clot cannot travel to the blood stream, and if the clot is lost prematurely, it is lost to the oral cavity and swallowed or spit up and results in a "dry socket". "Dry socket" results in intense sharp pain, but no CVA. However, if a patient's hypertension is poorly managed, and the stress of an extraction is great on the patient, then it is possible to spike their blood pressure and cause a stroke. That is why the patient's health history information is gathered and blood pressure should be checked prior to an extraction. If the tooth is not extracted, it is also possible that the pain can cause a spike in blood pressure and have the same effect.
Alveolitis is caused when?

Should there be a white spot when site is healing after tooth extraction?
Yes. It is completely normal. I had a tooth removed a few days ago and this white spot has appeared. You'll probably notice the day after your extraction that you have a red blood clot where your tooth was. The following days that blood clot will turn to a white/gray spot. This is your mouth healing itself. Completely normal. Don't worry, and don't remove it! You could get a dry socket and you definitely don't want that!
