  • How long does a blood clot last after tooth extraction?

    The blood clot that forms in the socket following tooth extraction is part of the healing process, therefore, this is a difficult question for a simple answer. Fibrin threads form within the blood clot to hold the clot together and anchor it to the walls of the socket. The clot is fragile at this point and should be treated very gently lest it be disturbed and lost. With the blood clot in place, capillaries migrate down the fibrin threads and bring blood supply to the clot. Following the capillaries, osteoblast begin to lay down bone in the clot and form osteocytes. This process continues until the entire socket is full of new bone. Thus, in health, the "clot" is never lost, but is the matrix which facilitates new bone formation.  READ MORE

  • What happens if you never get your wisdom teeth pulled out?

    As usual, the answer is that depends! On what, well a lot of things. Are the wisdom teeth impacted, i.e., blocked somehow from getting fully into the mouth and being functional? If they are impacted, have they broken through the gum and are partially exposed in the mouth. If so, then food, debris and bacteria can get packed in around them and become infected (pericoronitis). These infections can often be treated with antiseptic rinses (Chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide) or even antibiotics, but like a splinter in your finger, the problem never truly goes away until the splinter removed. Other factors can also be involved such as your general health. These problems can be worse in the elderly. Have your dentist help you make the decision, evaluating your particular situation.
