Should the blood clot go grey after a extraction?

After a tooth extraction, it is normal for the blood clot to change color as it begins to mature. Initially, it may appear red due to fresh blood, but as it dries and the healing process begins, it can take on a grey or brownish hue. This color change is generally a sign that the clot is stabilizing and the healing process is underway. However, if you notice unusual symptoms, such as increased pain or persistent bleeding, it's best to consult your dentist.
