How do I know if I have "Dry Socket(s)"?!


Question: How do I know if I have "Dry Socket(s)"!?
About three weeks ago I had three bottom molars removed, all during the same week!. Two of the sockets appear to be closing!. The other socket feels like it is not closing, and feels hollow!.

I do not feel any pain in my gums or the sockets, except when I eat!.

Does this sound like "Dry Socket!?" Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I have had dry sockets before!. A dry socket is when in the hole where the tooth was pulled forms a jelly like blood clot to protect it to heal!. Sometimes that clot gets dislodged, the pain of a dry socket from my own experience hurts about as bad as the toothache that made me get it pulled!. A dry socket is very painful,and can also cause an awful taste!. It sounds like it may just be still healing!. Hopefully this has helped!. But if the pain gets worse call your dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You didn't have a good blood clot formed to close the socket in that one!. You have developed an infection in the alveolar bone that sorround the roots of the tooth extracted and now u have what is called an osteitis!. Go back to the office,he will irrigate the area, put a special paste, them he'll give an antibiotic and analgesic to control the symptoms!. U might have to go couple times to remove the paste until pain is gone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. Dry socket is about the most painful dental experience one can endure!. And, one does not endure it for very long!. This is one of the only conditions I have known dentists to leave their beds in the middle of the night to treat!. I have seen the toughest of the tough ball like babies with dry socket!.

If you had it you would know it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you had a dry socket, boy you would know!. They are extremely painful, it's probably just slow in closing!. Make sure you keep your mouth clean!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

PAIN FROM A DRY SOCKET IS AGONIZING, ONE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET!. IT LASTS FOR WEEKS
it usually sets in 24-48 hours post extractionWww@Answer-Health@Com
