Tooth Extraction
Hello there. Sorry you are experiencing such great discomfort. Dry socket is typically (if the cause) associated with lower extractions and will peak typically within the first several hours / day(s) following if the case. Questions I would ask ... did you have any infection dictating the reason for the extraction? Did you have any bone graft placed? Did you have sutures placed? What post op medications were you prescribed? Do you notice any swelling or issues with your gums around the extracted sites? Going to an ER can help but should be a last resort as any qualified dentist who routinely performs extractions should be the next stop to obtain radiograph(s) and a detailed clinical exam of your site and pain in question to determine the cause and treatment needed (if any) to get you feeling and healing better. Resolution and assurance are there for you so no worries and it's best to consult with your original treating dentist first (even if phone) to have a better idea of next steps. If not, any dentist can help and should ask these questions as well. Hope this helps you and you have found the relief and answers you need to regain optimal oral health and comfort. READ MORE
