Blood clots generally form after your wisdom tooth extraction within thirty to sixty minutes.
Obese people have an increased risk of thrombosis, which is a blood clot traveling through the body, after wisdom tooth extraction.
From what the doctor told me, it takes over a year for the gums to fill up the hole with new tissue.
The blood clot would be red in color and thick enough to protect the healing wound. Sometimes bond fragments come loose during the healing progress and that can happen if the wisdom tooth was impacted in the bone. If the blood clot was dislodged by the gauze you'd be in severe pain even if you're on pain meds.
I had ice cream, ramen, mashed potatoes, popsicles (just don't suck on them too hard or the blood clot can come out), jello...
You should not rinse your mouth if the hole from getting your wisdom teeth pulled is not yet healed. It could wash out the blood clot and cause a dry socket.
Well it depends on what was done and the extensiveness of the surgery. I just got 4 wisdom teeth pulled and it clotted after about 4 hours. But for the clot to harden fully, wait up to 24, 36 hours to know for sure if its fully clotted. The bigger the hole. The longer you wait. =)
An embolus is a wandering blood clot.
its blood that's got alot of clot
You can pack the site with moist gauze, bite down and then inhale...this will keep the clot in the tooth. You must use moist gauze for each smoke for 3 days, or 8 days for a wisdom tooth. How do I know? I am a smoker and have had two teeth pulled this month alone on separate occasions. If you keep the hole covered with the moist gauze, your clot will stay where it needs to be :)
A blood clot in your cheek is life threatening and you would have to have surgery for the clot to be removed.
stationary clot is called a thrombus or a blood clot.
Thrombus in medical terms means blood clot.
