Can dry socket occur more than a week after having a tooth pulled?

Usually a dry socket will occur when you have had a tooth pulled (wisdom teeth being pulled are notorious for this). A dry socket is when the dentist pulls the tooth and the tissue covering the bone below the gum comes away and the bone is exposed to air. It's extremely painful. If you have a dry socket you would know it. If you are having pain go back to your dentist and if you can't get an appointment right away then go to the ER if you are in a lot of pain. Advil is an excellent over-the-counter pain killer and we use it here in Canada. Even beats Tylenol 3.


Wisdom teeth day 4 pain only on my left side. Do I have dry socket The pain is not terrible but feels the same What willd dry socket look like There is something whiteish over extraction site?

It is not necessarily dry socket. If the pain feels the same, chances are, that side is just healing slower. If the pain gets worse, or is still as bad tomorrow, see your dentist. Since you say it isn't terrible, the fact that only one side hurts does not indicate dry socket.


Do you have dry socket if you see a tiny spot of white from an extracted back tooth four days later with moderately severe pain?

Once you see can clearly see the bone, it is one obvious sign of dry socket. The first reaction is PAIN. If you can't stand the pain and it's intolerable, it's a likely case of dry socket. Dry sockets also cause very bad breath. See your dentist immediately if you are in pain.

Extreme pain, bad taste, and rancid smell from the mouth are some symptoms of a dry socket. If you are feeling extreme pain where you have had a tooth extracted you should contact your dentist/doctor for help.


Should you put Anbesol in your mouth if you have a dry socket?

I would not recomend putting anything in your mouth that will increase the poteintial for sensitivity or pain to your dry socket. The dentist that you see should have dry socket paste to apply for you. Try your best to keep your mouth free of cold air, and do not drink from a straw,smoke any cigarettes ,spit forcefully,or swish your mouth when brushing your teeth.


What is a dry pocket?

It is actually called "dry socket" it is when after a tooth is pulled a blood clot forms to protect the underling tissue . when you have dry socket the blood clot has been dislodged and the bone and nerve are exposed causing pain.


What is a natural remedy for dry socket?

There's not much you can do at home to remedy a dry socket. Dentists and oral surgeons need to repack the socket with a medicated dressing that helps with the pain and infection, but it doesn't speed up the healing process much. They need to heal on their own. So see your dentist if you have a dry socket or suspect one due to extreme pain.... if you must wait, rinse your mouth gently with salt water to keep the area clean and try not to focus on the pain.


How long does the pain of a dry socket last?

The pain of a dry socket should last no longer than 4 days. Dry sockets typically occur after you've gotten a tooth pulled. If the pain persists for more than 4 days after the extraction, contact your dentist for an appointment.

Not all the time, unless you have an infection too. Usually you would experience a lot of pain from a dry socket, a bad taste in your mouth, and a difficulty of opening the mouth.


Should you still have pain after dentist packed your dry socket from back bottom tooth?

Do you have pain from having the dentist packing your dry socket a week ago or a month ago? Did you finish taking the antibiotics to clear up the infection? You can call the dentist and ask how long you can expect to have pain, especially if your prescription for antibiotics has run out.


You want to smoke but you just had your wisdom teeth pulled?

No if you do you will get dry socket and that is the most painful experience I ever had. Getting the wisdom teeth out was nothing compared to the dry socket. I fell down in the shower with pain and I had to go to the doctor everyday to get novacaine packed in my tooth it was so painful please dont smoke or drink through a straw after surgery.


After a tooth extraction What does it mean if the socket turns white?

If the socket turns white after a tooth extraction, it means you have a dry socket. The white you are seeing is bone. After you have a tooth pulled, there is a socket or bone and sensitive nerves. Dry sockets occur when a blood clot either fails to form in the socket or it disintegrated. Dry sockets can lead to terrible pain and inflammation You should call your dentist right away if you have one!
