Hi all,

As some of you may know from my other thread I had 14 teeth removed this morning. One of the top blood clots that is covering quite a few teeth has come loose and is hanging down. Should I just leave this and apply some more gauze and pressure or should I pull it off? It's literally hanging off. It's started to bleed a bit again but have had a bit of blood coming out all day.

Thanks in advance.
 
It's probably old blood, the "real" blood clots are down in the sockets. I wouldn't mess with it though. Bite on some moist gauze, if it is just sitting there it will come away.
 
Thanks RP, that's what I did and the blood clot went back in and I went to sleep.
