Down where my tooth was extracted, I'm not certain if a blood clot has formed or if I have something a bit more... Needed to be tended to.

Behind my swollen cheek, where #32 was removed, I can see down and it looks... Grey/nasty. I only had it done on Friday but I can barely remember the other side for comparison. I'm fairly certain the blood clot area is supposed to look revolting. I would have gone to the dentistry and had this looked at but the office was closed.

You didnt get stitches or anything. I just got all four out last thursday and I don't have any blood clots i think. Were yours impacted?

Edit: sorry didnt read correctly. You got them pulled. Mine were surgically removed nvrm

No, I had sutures. I already removed them from my mouth. I also have painkillers, which they only gave me 15 hydrocodone pills with anti-biotics. Mine weren't impacted.

Remember, grammar is the difference between; "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse." And "I helped my uncle jack off a horse."

Haven't had mine removed yet, and never will.

Two years ago around Christmas time, I had all four of mine cut out. The next few days weren't fun for eating. I got by with chicken noodle soup though!

I had all 4 removed at the same time. They were all impacted deep and that had to put me to sleep for the procedure. The entire day I had gauze pads in my mouth, changing them every hour because they were soaked with blood. The stitches finally came out after a few days. Overall it sucked.

Sutures are stitches. But as you say, you're gone already, I guess?

I remember when mine started to come out, it was kinda gross. Like black knotted threads covered in saliva.

You might have dry socket.

I've been trying to find out if that's entirely true. I'm reading up and it says that they will cause your breathe to be bad as well as radiating pain in your ears and eyes, as opposed to the extraction zone. I don't see any bone, and there is blood that seems to come from the area still.

Either way I'm getting this looked at, running out of painkillers.

"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

It could just be food trapped in there mixed with blood. It was a major problem I had to deal with during the first week after I got mine removed.
