Afraid i am going to get dry sockets

[Kennymeredith]

What should my blood clot look like after wisdom teeth removal? I had my bottom wisdom teeth removed yesterday and the stitch came out on one side, my mom said that its fine idk if she even knows what she is talking about but i am very worried about getting dry sockets as i can not tolerate much pain. I can see some reddish dark colored blood im assuming, in the hole but its also very deep in the hole. The other side is completely closed with stitches. Should i go see my dentist tomorrow or am i fine? Also it is still occasionally bleeding not much but some.

What you're describing is perfectly normal healing. No need to see your dentist. Follow the instructions they gave you (avoid straws, smoking, etc) and you'll minimize the risk of developing a dry socket.
