Dentist Questions Blood Clots

How long does a blood clot last after an extraction?

I have a blood clot after my extraction, and I know that it's important to have for healing. How long does a blood clot usually last after an extraction?

The clot should stay til it is totally healed. It will eventually turn into hard tissue (bone) and heal properly
A few days. It’s hard to say for sure. It changes from person to person.
Couple of days until the tissue starts closing.
