Visitor asks:

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?

Dear Sir/Madam, Because of recurrent inflammation under a bridge and unsuccessful endodontic treatments, I will most likely be left without teeth on one half of the lower jaw from tooth 3 onward (I have 1 and 2).

Best regards. My upper central incisor, which was already non-vital, has broken. The dentist said that there is no other solution than extraction.
