How do I tell if the blood clot has dislodged? (After dental implant removal surgery)

July 30, 2016
Asked By:sml1124 in Glen Cove, NY

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!
