Hello! I've tried googling this a fair amount of times so far, but have yet to find any possible answers that apply to my situation, my apologies.

I had two tooth extractions, bone grafts, and PRF services done on both teeth(/teeth holes, now) yesterday at 8am. I was told to expect some slight bleeding and oozing over at least the course of the day, possible two days. But, I have yet to notice any visible blood in my mouth at all, nor have I tasted any other than during the procedure itself. 

To provide some possible helpful info, they found out last week that both of the teeth that were needing extraction had "bubbles" on the xrays indicating they were infected, and I was put on 500mg amoxicillin 3x daily for the past week. The dentist didn't bring up anything about the infection during the procedures, so I just assumed he scraped the rest of it out successfully, if there was any infection remaining. I was additionally prescribed 8mg of dexamethasone that I took before my appointment yesterday, so my pain has been non-existent (especially compared to all the dental/mouth pain I've been having for the past few months), but I fear that may also be implicated in this? idk haha.

I also have had a nicotine addiction for 6 years now (vaping), and am now on the patch instead and on the route to fully quitting (no more patches, as I know nicotine can impair osseointegration for implants, and that implants have a higher failure rate) well before I get the implants done... so that is also making me nervous. I have been eating only soft foods (just applesauce today), have not been vaping or using straws, and have not seen any blood clots come out thus far. Just lots of the bone grafting material visible/staying put and a bit of dried blood around the extraction sites (and lots of disposable stitches laced over the top of them).


I am just maybe irrationally worried, as this has been a long process so far and will continue to be an even longer process for me. [I broke my jaw in 3 places from fainting/a fall back in December, had my jaw wired shut, broke most of my teeth (although most were able to be fixed with crowns), and am only now getting the two extractions I needed done because of MA/insurance issues. I will be needing braces on the bottom because my front lower teeth got super spaced out from the trauma, and need to be in their correct positions before I start the even longer process of getting implants.]
