What is the cause of a hanging bag of tissue with blood after tooth extraction?
Patient: Hi, I just had a top molar extracted almost 4 hours ago. There was some initial blood (had to bite down on gauze for 10 minutes at the dentist's office), but now at the extraction site there's a hanging bag of bloody tissue. Is this something to be worried about? Doctor: HiWelcome to HCMI read your query this hanging bag of blood tissue must be nothing but a blood clot. Dont worry its a part of healing dont wash it away and follow the instructions what doctor has given you.Thank you
