Dry Socket and How to Prevent It

[@averyhopkins5850]

Awesome information, dry socket sounds horrific! Good work doc

[@t_money1850]

I got all 4 removed as a teenager. I was out asleep for the surgery, guaranteed the best way. No pain

When you mention the avoidance of sucking motion, does that apply to heavy breathing? I was also curious to know what my risks are being that I am not a smoker but at 25 years of age going into the procedure for impacted teeth.

[@kittytlee]

Most videos and graphs show a lower molar extraction site, but if the extraction site is on the upper side, then the blood clot will fall off, unless one will not eat or drink for days.

[@newwavepop]

i dont smoke and i never have so that eases me, but i am just a few months from 50 so i am certainly an adult and now im paranoid. just had it pulled yesterday and it is very difficult to not rinse and brush and floss. the spot where the tooth was is only mildly sore but man my jaw is tender from being shoved and yanked around. they pull it then hand me a piece of paper with to read when i get home and send me on my way. the first thing i do when i get home is go to the bathroom to take the gauze out and see if i need to replace it my mouth is full of blood so i rinse the crap out of it and replace the gauze then sit down to read the piece of paper, first thing it says do not rinse your mouth out DOH!!!

[@la381]

NO smoking/vaping. NO straws. Eat a soft liquidy diet following the extraction. Don't disturb the area.

[@cedarace]

don't disturb the area would have been good advice BEFORE I got dry socket, also the soft food/liquid diet. 😭

[@cedarace]

I wish my dentist would have been more proactive in explaining like this guy did. no smoking and no straws are not a good enough explanation. I ended up with dry socket and I'm so much pain, every 4 hours like clockwork it starts throbbing. taking so much ibuprofen is messing with my ulcer 😭

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

Mine fell out when I was eating soup. And I tried using gauze to make it clot back up but it didn’t work:(

[@rebeccahatcher4329]

I went to the dentist exactly a week after my extractions, so so my follow up exam they ended up getting straight into giving me fillings. I asked is it normal to do fillings this soon, they said as long as you’re able to open you mouth wide. I’m not gonna argue with a professional. So throughout the process it was rough around my extraction sites, lots of suctioning very much near the spots.. I get home and my clot is completely gone, I don’t have much pain.. should I worry about this because it’s been a week?

[@ZAOutdoors]

depends. how do you feel 5 months later lol

[@la381]

Your dentist did you wrong.

[@mohammedkhan4088]

Had my tooth removed 3 days ago it was a a hard extraction the dentist could not pull the tooth out he cracked my tooth it broke off at the gum line then he picked at the roots to take them out my gum was a mess i am in so much pain hope it is not Dry socket

[@peteredwards1528]

if you have a slow healing troublesome dry socket would a period of water fasting away from food facilitate the healing process sooner?

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

maybe chewing on the other side only would help

I had one of my lower wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. When I got home I rinsed my mouth out with water and also spat blood out not knowing that I was not supposed to. I then read on the internet all about dry sockets and that to avoid these you should not do certain things like rinsing and spitting. I am therefore worried I have a dry socket. I have looked into my mouth using a light and a mirror but am unsure whether the socket is dry or not. I have no pain at all and my breath does not smell. What would you advise?

[@demitri9211]

hey dude were you okay or what? i had my wisdom teeth taken out a day ago

[@JD-Media]

@@demitri9211 I was lucky! Just be careful about what you eat and drink, as long as you don't feel any pain that's a good sign your be okay, don't use straws or spit, the general rule is if you have dislodged your blood socket you will feel pain after three days, use salt in warm water to clean your mouth, never rinse or spit it out though. First week be extra careful, avoiding a dry socket is a must.

Smoking after a Wisdom Tooth Extraction: "If it becomes dislodged at any point, it can be very painful and lead to infection. Besides the risk of dry socket, smoking also increases your risk of developing bacteria in your mouth that will attack your gums and weaken your body’s healing ability." Question on the above, In addition to weaken the body's healing ability what other issues can arise? Can this ever be resolved and how?
