Had a wisdom tooth pulled today can i spit?!
Question: Had a wisdom tooth pulled today can i spit!?
I had my lower left wisdom tooth today and I know that it says not to spit after getting it done because it may disrupt the clot!. I was wondering if it is alright if i kind of just drool the spit out of my mouth as my spit is still a little bloody and I always have alot of saliva as it is!? So if i carefully let the saliva/blood drain out of my mouth is that ok!?!.!. thanks!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't spit hard for today or the next day!.!.!.you can drool it out though, as disgusting as it may be it's the best way to go!. You really want to avoid dry socket!. If you're still bleeding put a tea bag on that spot, they work wonders for healing!. And don't forget the salt water rinse, because that will also help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you spit you might get a dry pocket where your tooth was, that is not good!. Wipe your blood/mucus from from your moth for a couple of days!. I can't believe a dentist didn't tell you that!. For heath problems you are better off to call your Dr/Dentist rather that ask armatures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you aren't supposed to spit because it will unclog whatever blood clot you have in your mouth and you will continue bleeding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would think that spitting is better than swallowing old blood!. Just don't spit forcefully!. That's a pretty good sized hole you have right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
if you do spit within first 24hrs you may land up in having DRY-SOCKET !.!.!.!.!. a very painful conditionWww@Answer-Health@Com
