Dry socket?!
Question:
Dry socket?
I had all four wisdom teeth taken out last friday. My teeth are evry soar and i still cant open my mouth or eat many foods. Only one tooth hurts and I think it may have a dry socket. So far not even the medicine will cure the pain and its like a throb. Im not in tears or anything and its not effecting my slepp. Is it a dry socket? How can I help it if it is and how can i ease the pain?
The doctor gave me antibotics to keep out infection and i have been taking those as told. Could it really be an infection? The side that hurts was swollen more than the other also
Answers:
You should call and speak to the doctor's assistant. They will want to know if the pain and swelling are getting better each day (even it still hurts) or worse or staying the same. If it's getting worse or staying the same. They will most likely want o see you.
