How can you make sure you dont get dry socket infection?!
Question: wen you get your wisdom teeth out??
Answers: wen you get your wisdom teeth out??
Even though it is a particularly rare phenomenom, (5%), dry sockets can happen even if you follow the rules.
But do just that!! No smoking, no sucking thru a straw, no hot liquids (first 24-48hrs), getting rest.
All you can do is follow your dentist/surgeons instructions, and God-forbid it does happen? Well, they are easily treated! Good luck (I just had mine out yesterday, so I'm here looking for answers as well!)
No smoking!!
Do not use a straw, for drinking!!!
Avoid hot soups/hot drinks.
Follow the instructions from your dentist!!!!
In addition to Andrew's answer, I just wanted to add:
~ No carbonated beverages
~No rinsing or spitting for the first 24 hours
You can still brush your teeth, but obviously be very gentle at the area where the tooth was extracted. Instead of spitting the water out, just let it run out...
....and take the time to heal!
Feel better!
stick with the S's
no...
Smoking
Straws
Spitting ...
dry socket is not an infection the blood is not clogging or scabbing what ever they call it to cover the open hole and air
gets to the root which causes the pain no smoking no straws or any kind of food or candy that you suck on no real hot food or drinks do what the dentist tell you
