Dry sockets?!


Question: Dry sockets!?
It's been 2 days since my extraction and is it still possible for me to get a dry socket!? Im pretty afraid because i've got many undone tasks which need to be done soon!.

I've followed all necessary precautions but am still afraid because i eat soupy and soft food which im afraid may dislodge the blood clot!. My tongue sometimes also abit curious hahaWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is still possible to get a dry socket, the most common cause is smoking during the 3 days after your extraction!. You should be able to build up to eating normal foods now though unless you feel that the pain is getting bad!.
Use a mouthrinse of a teaspoon of salt in warm water 4 times per day for a minute per time and remember to keep your mouth clean by brushing your teeth carefully for 2 minutes twice per dayWww@Answer-Health@Com
