Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your query, you have a blood clot at the tooth extraction which is normal after every extraction for the first 2 to 3 days. You can masturbate or have sex, no issues in that.

I would suggest you maintain proper oral hygiene. Follow all post-operative instructions such as do warm saline gargles, do not suck or swish any liquid forcefully, do not eat hard food and avoid any kind of vigorous exercise.

Eat very soft food. Drink cold water and have ice cream for rapid healing for 48 hours. Take a combination of Ibuprofen and Diclofenac drugs. Visit a dentist once, if symptoms keep on exaggerating or if bleeding does not stop.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
