My mom's cousin had a dry socket. He said it was the worst pain he'd ever felt in his life.

Just got back from the emergency dentist after having a dry socket for over a week. The dentist was so lovely, numbed me up, re-cut the extraction site to cause it to bleed again, put clove oil inside the open wound (antibacterial and in hopes to kill of any surviving nerves) and my gosh the feeling of next to no pain is amazing. Still tender but dry socket has got to be the worse pain I’ve experienced so far

I’m experiencing dry socket right now, and let me tell you something, it a f****g nightmare 😢 why dentists never tell the patients this important information. I never knew that dry socket was a thing until I experienced it. Anyway I’m on day 9 and the pain is becoming bearable. I have no idea when the hole is going to fully heal but I feel like it is closing little by little, I wish I can tell the world about my horrible experience, to avoid being in the same situation.


ps: my English is broken, but you get the message

I currently have dry socket 7 days after a lower wisdom tooth extraction. It is awful!

Non smoker, Ive had a dry socket for over a year after lower impacted wisdom tooth extraction. If I had known there was even a 1% chance of this happening I would have left the tooth in my jaw. I still have trouble sleeping from this. Just leave your wisdom teeth in, it’s not worth the risk.

It's the third day after getting my tooth pulled. I felt no pain or discomfort at first but now it's still doesn't hurt but I'm feeling some discomfort. It feels like the spot is starting to harden and feel sort of cold. I'm starting to get bad anxiety about it. I'm gonna try and take a nap hopefully I don't wake up in pain.

Went to dentist last Friday. They were getting annoyed because it was late in the day and it took over half an hour jerking my head side to side to remove a back tooth. Been in agony all weekend and my mrs took a look. It looks like dry socket and mild infection and they have tore into my pallete from my gum inside. I can't take pain killers as I have a bowel problem. I hope to get to see them tomorrow. Absolutely suffering. I followed aftercare strictly as well. 😢😭

I had 4 teeth pulled in Australia 2 days ago. First time i had ever been to the dentist. And now i dont ever wanna go again.. 2023 and it feels so barbaric. I feel like i have been bashed by 20 dudes with baseball bats doesn't help that i have had a stomach problem my whole life and i smoke weed to help with pain and rn im so stressed about dry socket and im trying my hardest not to smoke. But my gut is really not giving a shit

[anngrace]

I can’t handle a toothache if i get a dry socket after my wisdom tooth and the next to it come out that will be my 13th reason

Is there an opposite of dry socket? My extraction socket has been bleeding for 2 days regularly now

[lexalanena]

I am currently experiencing this and worse part is, I have a school project due tomorrow. Crazy and inconvenient. I can compare this pain to giving birth for sure 😢

Can a dry socket form 5 hours after I know it’s a silly question but it’s not filled with blood and there is visible white stuff will that cause a dry socket

[olivergonzalez]

Should we visit our dentist right away if we feel that we have a dry socket??

[masterplanes]

Accidentally slept on my left side on day 5 a week after my extraction have been swollen and once in a while I have pain

[cubby]

My lower R was stitched up, and part of the inside of my gum cleaved off, Im guessing the stitches got infected and the skin eventually died off. Should I be concerned ? The L side is healing nicely.
