the bottom right (where i had TWO, thats right, two taken out) hurts really really bad...like deep in my jaw...i dont think i have dry socket because i can actually function...but how can you tell?

Have you been drinking anything carbonated or drinking thru a straw?

You should call the Dr. if it hurts alot.

nope, no straw, and nothing carbonted.

it doesnt hurt like a TON, but i was just wondering about early detection...it could be from just sleeping hard (im a snorer).

took a pain pill and its going away so i guess it was nothing...ice helped too.

When I had all of mine done, I made sure the ice was done and the gauze changed when I was supposed to. I didn't have any issues at all. There was some soreness -- you just had teeth yanked out of your head.

I took percocet for the first day and stopped. I didn't like the way they felt. I dealt with the pain, instead.

yeah, i dont need the gauze anymore, they stopped bleeding after the first day...and im weeing myself off the vicodin...they gave me tylenol 3 and i wanna get on that, the vicodin is making me sick because i cant really eat stuff, so taking it on an empty stomach makes the pain go away in my jaw, but i get queasy.

You rinsing with warm salt water? That will help keep the sockets clean.

hm...i think ill start doing that, i wasnt really drinking or eating anything before today that would have made me need to rinse, but ive been eating applesauce and yogurt...thanks panz.

don't swish hard -- be gentle

well duh! hehe

My husband got dry socket when he had his wisdom teeth removed and oh boy was it noticable. His neck swelled up to the point it looked like he swallowed a balloon!! He had trouble breathing even. He went straight to the surgeon's office and the receptionist took one look at him and called a nurse immediately. I won't tell you how gross it got from there. He was ok though in a day.

been swapping ice and heat on and off today and its helped.

You fail to heal yourself, Your ice pack was 1 use left

Jaw Pain sends Your tired body to bed!

I didn't have dry sockets when I had my bottom 2 impacted wisdom teeth pulled. But yeah, what Panz said.

Also, I had phantom pain occasionally where the teeth used to be for something like 3-4 years. Freaky having something hurt that isn't there anymore.

Make salt water swishes a second religion, and again, what Panz said; be gentle.

Ehem - what is "dry socket" ?

I was wondering the same thing lol


I had a tooth yanked last year, and once the freezing wore off I was fine.
Even eating pizza that night.


What did they remove on you? just teeth? or part of the jaw bone too?
