Dry socket?!


Question:

Dry socket?

i just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out this past friday, and 3 are healing perfectly, i have not had the first problem out of them but i have 1 that i think was impacted its on the bottom right, it still hurts, today was alil better at times and then other times it was BAD.. i took a pain pill this mornin then just took asprin the rest of the day and it was ok, how will i know if its a dry socket everyone says it hurts really bad, but mine does hurt real bad, just not all the time..could it be dry socket? and when will it be safe to know i aint gonna get it?..on the top of the gum where the tooth was extracted it has white spots on it, what could that be? is it normal?


Answers:

try to rinse with warm water and salt, the area it may be inflamed as the tissue try to heal. the condition of alveolar osteitis (dry socket) some times is caused by food retained in the socket after the extraction . if it persist call your dentist and inform him about this. if it is dry socket he will have to clean the area with war saline and eugenol(an antibiotic , anti inflammatory and anesthetic). good luck.
