[|Human|] I got my bottom left wisdom tooth removed today around 2pm , but when I arrived home I noticed there were no stitches. So by 6pm I am still bleeding a lot it hasnt slowed down like its supposed to. I read an article it said to keep biting down firmly. When it began to fill with blood I took it out thats when I noticed the little blood clot was out of the wound and next to it stuck to my inner cheek, so I slid back into the extraction area. Is that okay to do? I didnt want to get dry socket. Please help Im freaking out!!!
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query. Your dentist has not given stitches because of less traumatic injury during procedure and titches are not necessary. You are right that you should bite firmly, but you should not bite barely at extraction site. You should first place cotton gauge on extraction site and then bite it for half an hour to 45 mins. You should not put anything from oral cavity to socket because it can carry microorganism with it. Now you should wait for 2-3 days and follow the instructions given below.- Do not swish or throw saliva forcefully out of mouth, because it can dislodge clot inside socket. - Eat soft food from side other than extraction or have liquid diet. Do not suck any liquid with straw.- Give warm compresses on cheek outside extraction site.- Take ibuprofen(if not allergic) or acetaminophen for pain and swelling.- After two days start warm saline rinses 2-3 times day. If it starts paining after 2-3 days which is duration for Chat Doctor.  Doctor may clean socket with Betadine for 2-3 days regularly or prescribe antibiotics. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
