Question:
Answers:
slightly sore is normal, my dentist told me that dry socket can happen even weeks afterward. if you get it, you'll definitely know it. the pain went right to the top of my skull!
youre probably ok now but yes you can still get it 4 days later the reason i say youre ok is that you would already feel it and its BAD..
very very good chance if you dont go by the directions
Well, watch out for the dry socket thing..its not a fun time! I got it about a week later...dont suck out of a straw when you drink something, and try not to get food on the side of your mouth.it will irritate it! Dont use the gel-like toothpaste either.it has too much of the chemical in it, use regular ol'white Colgate...
It is not uncommon to get dry socket after four days, however if you are only experiencing slight pain then this is probable normal, from what I have herd dry socket is extremely painful give it a few more days.
Only 4 days? Check in a couple of weeks and see how you are doing. The swelling and "chipmunk" phase are not even over yet. Some pain is to be expected - especially if they had to lay open your jaw.
dry sockets normally happen 2 days after extractions onwards..but it is excruciating pain,that you could not possibly ignore with heading back to the dentist, so sometimes it can be just some food stuck in the hole, after 2 days you should be gently brushing the socket any way and warm salt rinse mouth wash,
Dry sockets occur approximately 2 weeks after the extraction. They don't develop in a couple days. Dry sockets hurt worse than a regular toothache. You will know if you have one. Slight soreness is to be expected within a week or so of any extraction, especially oral surgery.
Take 800 mg of IBProfen every 6-8 hours and if the dentist gave you pain medicine, save it for night time so you can rest.
I hope this helps!
