Aye, don't be doing that, you might have pulled the clot out and be on the way to dry socket hell!! If you have a clot or not, leave it alone and as was already mentioned, go to your dentist and have them take a look-see. I'm 3 weeks out and I've still got stitches in several of the deep holes, and I pulled out the stitches in several deep ones trying to get what I realized wasn't a bone fragment but rather the inside walls of where the teeth were. Terribly infected when they were pulled and that stuff is still there. But it's not hurting.
I can't use the stuff they gave me, the Peridex but I traded it with my wife for this and it's AMAZING for healing and use salt water EVERY time you rinse except with this stuff.
NAD, unsure about how they look but I have used this mouthwash in the past and it works pretty well https://www.amazon.com/TheraBreath-Healthy-Periodontist-Formulated-Rinse/dp/B0758F8KDC
>I have such trouble using regular floss it gets stuck in my teeth and secondly it is a struggle to access every tooth and i worry im doing more harm than good for my gums as sometimes my gum bleeds.
Just so you know, your gums WILL stop bleeding once you get more regular cleanings and get the tartar buildup handled. The tartar inflames your gums and causes bleeding. Once you have the cleaning and floss regularly, your gums won't bleed. You have to use regular floss though, not those little green pics with half an inch of floss on them.
My gums used to gush blood in the mornings and with floss and after two weeks they don't bleed at all even if I take the floss all the way up to the root of my tooth like the dentist does (which you are supposed to do at home as well). Keep at it!
I'm not a dentist but I'm 28 years old and have apparently pretty bad bone loss and gum recession for my age. It accelerated extremely fast after only a year of not going to the dentist.
I also use this daily: https://www.amazon.com/TheraBreath-Healthy-Periodontist-Formulated-Rinse/dp/B0758F8KDC/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=therabreath+mouthwash&qid=1610675565&sr=8-9 in addition to Parodontax toothpaste.
It sucks that I can't go back in time and realize what I was letting happen! I like you am pretty worried about what the future holds, but I can rest assured that I have likely stopped the disease from taking further bone and gum tissue. Best of luck.
