Question: Do you think the hygienist was right in diagnosing me with dry socket!?
Is it typical to not have "severe" pain with dry socket!? I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed last Thursday!.!. and I'm having irritation !.!. I feel air around the sockets (has this happened to anyone!?) and they told me it was dry socket!. I also think it's happening on the other side (the bottom left)!. They told me I didn't do anything wrong! But do you think they're sure it's dry socket!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I had dry socket, and it wasn't the worst thing in the world!. It did feel like there was air or swelling in the socket!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, after you have an extraction you are told by your dentist to follow simple instructions so you wont have a dry socket!. Like no smoking, no spitting and no sucking through a straw or anything and you also have to be on a soft diet!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Thats a little strange!. When I got mine taken out I got two dry sockets, but I smoke so had a valid reason for it!. what do you mean you feel air around the sockets!? Mine were just very painfulWww@Answer-Health@Com
FYI,
IF YOU HAD A REAL DRY SOCKET YOU'D FEEL IT AND ONLY THE DOCTOR SHOULD ONLY DO THAT!. SOME LINGERING PAIN IS NORMAL POST EXTRACTION Www@Answer-Health@Com
