Hello!
Yesterday my dentist extracted my upper left first molar; the tooth was non-vital. I would like to know how you can tell if the blood clot has fallen out or is no longer there? And when you eat, even though I eat on the other side all the time, food can still get into the socket where the tooth was extracted; how do you get it out of the socket if you are not supposed to rinse? And is it advisable to use mouthwash even though the tooth was extracted?
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Hello!
It is advisable to leave the wound alone, so do not rinse it or poke it.
You can eat normally; on the first day, liquid and cold food,
and after extraction of lower teeth it is advisable to avoid foods with small particles (nuts, etc.) for a few days.
Best regards!
