I had a tooth implant surgery #19 and an extraction #18 48 hours ago. I have stitches on #18 site and I noticed that my blood clot #19 is gone now. Is it something I should worry about or not? I am concerned about a dry socket...
Had stage 2 of dental implant done this morning. Did not see or feel any blood in surrounding area or implant cap. Now while I was gently brushing my teeth, notice big blood clot covering implant. Is this normal?
Almost 2 weeks ago I got had a bone graft and dental implant procedure done. Due to an infection or the implant not taking, they removed the implant and bone graft and cleaned out the area and stitched it back up to heal early today. I'm worried that i lost the blood clot on my gum eating earlier and that I'm going to get dry socket. I was wondering what are the signs that would indicate i lost the blood clot on my gum. Thanks!
My implant surgeon uncovered the implant yesterday (second stage procedure). He placed a flat screw or abutment on the implant which does not protude a lot. I noticed blood clot forming on top of the abutment which is hiding it (looks like red bulb covering). Is this normal ? Or is the gum covering back?
