Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Formation of a healthy blood clot is very important for the proper healing of the tooth socket.

If I were your treating dentist ,I would advise you to follow the post extraction instructions properly.
Avoid early vigorous gargling to avoid the loss of blood clot. Avoid using straw for drinking. Avoid spicy food and hard food for a while.

Relax and have the tooth extracted.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
