I had my upper left back tooth extracted Thursday morning. The dentist did a bone implant and stitched it up. Friday night the stitches came out. Since it is the weekend they are closed. It feels like the sandy bone is staying in place but I am not sure what, if anything, I should do until Monday?

If the area is not bleeding and the graft appears to have stayed in, I would just be careful and not eat on that side. If area is bleeding and graft is coming out, place tea bag and gently bite until bleeding stops and see your dentist monday for evaluation.
