What is Dry Socket? Top dentist says how to Prevent It! | Atlanta Dental Spa (2019)

- What is dry socket? I get that question a lot. Dry socket is no fun, I'll tell you that. It's also pretty common when it comes to extractions, especially lower wisdom teeth.
And everybody's heard about it. Everybody knows a guy that had a bad dry socket experience. It's what scares a lot of people away from having their wisdom teeth taken out or what makes them nervous when they need some sort of extraction done.
Well, dry socket is when the tooth comes out, just like if I cut my arm, and I'm going to have a scab form on my arm. A scab forms where the tooth came from too. But we don't call it a scab in the mouth. We call it a blood clot.
It fills up where the tooth used to be. And it firms up over the course of a day or two. It sits there, and it starts the normal healing process.
What a dry socket is is once that clot's there, it gets dislodged somehow. The most common reason is smoking. Somebody goes home, and they smoke a cigarette, not only is it the toxins in the actual smoke, but it's the suction of pulling on the cigarette. So the same thing can happen if you use a straw. For a few days right after an extraction, we really encourage you do not to use straws. If you go get a milk shake or smoothie or something afterwards, that's great, just eat it with a spoon. That heavy suction when you're pulling on a straw can dislodge that blood clot.
Also if it's in the first 24 hours or so after your surgery, you don't want to do any heavy rinses, heavy spitting, heavy swishing. If you feel gross or something after you've had your wisdom teeth out, that's fine and okay and normal. Just get a wet wash cloth and wipe out your mouth instead of rinsing and spitting for that first day or so.
Let that clot firm up. Just like if you sat there and picked that scab on your arm over and over, it's never going to heal right. When that clot dislodges, if it does, we've got exposed bone in there. And that hurts like crazy. It's no fun. It's really unpleasant. And it lasts for about two weeks.
And there's not a lot of treatment to be done for it. Yes, you come in, and we can put a medicine down in there. And we can give you painkillers and things like that. We can numb you up. But who wants to come back to have us poke around in the thing that really hurts? No one wants to get another injection. We really prefer not to give you a bunch of painkillers on top of the ones you're already taking.
We can avoid these things if you follow our instructions. But there's also a couple really helpful things that we do here. We try to go above and beyond on your average extraction here. I try my best to give everyone a very easy extraction experience, and a dry socket is not an easy experience.
So one of the things we do is we place what's called platelet-rich fibrin. Make sure you watch my PRF video where I go into more detail about that. But it's a preformed blood clot formed from your own blood that's very easy. And it basically jumpstarts the whole healing process. And it really, really lowers your chance of having a dry socket. So it's very, very helpful. And we find that folks have a really good experience when we do that. And we do that routinely here.
The other thing that we can do is if it's a tooth that we're planning on putting back, so it's not a wisdom tooth, but it's, say, a molar over here that we want to put back, a lot of times, what we'll do is we'll do a socket or site preservation bone graph, meaning the tooth comes out. We fill that right away with bone to give us a really good chance that an implant shortly thereafter. And what that does is that has now filled up that socket, so you can't get a dry socket. We've already covered it and protected it so we can keep you from having that experience.
So that's a little background on dry socket. We have a really good track record with all those little tips and tricks that I just gave you of not really experiencing many of those around here. So don't sweat it. Come talk to me. And I can put you at ease because that's something that we're pretty much getting rid of. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Who’s here because they just got wisdom teeth removed like me right now?
Yep. Got mine extracted today....it was an emergency for me because my tooth was infected. My lower jaw and side of my neck was swollen...smh. I really hope this dry socket thing does not happen to me!!
I had all four of mine removed this morning. I took my meds and all but I actually tried rinsing my mouth with water because there was just so much blood and saliva. Thanks to this video, I’ll try not to rinse for now!
I got mines out today. And I don’t wanna go back to the dentist.
Mee
godamn it lol.
If you need to spit or wash your mouth. drink water and literally let it droop out.
Just put me in a coma to heal so I don’t have to feel it 😂
Unpopular 27 😂😂
Omg right! I got mine out yesterday. Dude it’s sucks ALOT.
@@MrsB95750 I have dry socket for about 7 days
Dog I know right? I’ll take that option and off work
Seriously. That should be common practice
Well you know what? My denstist didn’t explain this
NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE STRAW!!
Nuzhat Rahman same and i wanna die right now
How is this possible. I've had two seperate wisdom teeth appointments from two dentists and this is like the only warning they give
@@chiccennuggut380 you feeling better homie ?
Brian O yeah im fine now it was a really annoying process
I’m starving and just want food that I can chew
Aizlynn Burton lol same here man I’m starving and want to smoke so bad
Frank Rodriguez same
Aizlynn Burton me too omg, i just got my extraction done right now and i haven’t ate all day and i’m starving 😭
@@dangelomadrid Ensure Enlive has been working for me. I obviously would love to eat but I'm not starving.
E Kat i have been eating on my opposite side of my mouth but foods that i’m supposed to eat, thankfully they filled my gum in and stitched me up so i don’t think i have to worry about a dry socket
Had all 4 taken out today. Felt a lot of pain afterwards, pain is going down tho around 12 AM. Haven't drank, smoked, or eaten a thing. Road to a healthy recovery!!
I couldn’t take my pain... I drank some water so I can take meds.. and i drank some cold veggie juice, fewer sugar than yougurt or ice cream...
Josh Sprague 💪💪
I didn’t feel any pain at all whatsoever (only had one tooth removed). I ate soft foods the first day and now I’m worried!!! No one told me I couldn’t eat soft foods the first day smh 🤦🏻♀️
L8dykickass updates?
Seven Neyapmaz oh I was fine :D it healed up pretty fast too ^^
I should not be watching this! I’m having SUCH a good recovery! And this just makes me nervous man! I’m doing everything right though!
Paige 1996 man me too .. but I got a kickboxing class to teach tomorrow.. don’t want to cancel
Annabelle Vieira y’all are lucky I got a dry socket and I went to irrigate it WORST MOTHERFUCKIN PAIN, I wanted to be put under
Edit: Want
Me too
@@crunir8807 Did you keep irrigating?
I like this. I know that dentists are busy and have other patients but it would be good if more dentists were like you with helping people understand. Knowing more eases the anxiety. I mean, it doesn't have to be a seminar but explaining the fear away is important.
I was so scared of getting dry socket, I just kept my mouth closed the entire time I was recovering, only opening it to drink water or brush my front teeth.
good idea
So you never ate food?
@@Ghosty_cat_ 😀😀😀 i was thinking the same
@@Ghosty_cat_ I am only eaten really little amounts of food cause my stomach was making me feel sick I’ve just been drinking heaps of water
@@amiegene6805..
I wish they would just stitch up the extraction area. That blood clot comes out fairly often. I did everything right and have a dry socket. It’s so painful.
GracieGirl7 Really eh?Did u smoke or do u?Dry Socket won't happen if u have a Gauze on the site all the time for the first Few days..
Worse pain ever
My Dr stitched mine up but i think part dislodged but it's actually very rare for a clot to dislodge.
Danny Irish Greene Lie. Just had my tooth pulled, not supposed to keep gauze on it. They recommend tea bags now.
@@deathrattles214 alot of people over do it with gauze and end up giving themselves a dry socket because of it.
BEEN sitting here for about a week being absolutely terrified of getting a dry socket. But little did I know I CANT because I got a bone graph🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you so much lol
Why am I watching this freaking myself out after I got them removed
Same :((
Same
Me too 😂😂😂😢
I want this guy as my dentist! Explains things and sounds like he would actually listen to the patient!
Moraktion ya nobody told me now I’m in the worst mf pain in my life 😫😫
I have mine removed about 6 hours ago...and here i am binge watching videos of wisdom teeth😂😂😂
*starts questioning myself if I should eat the noodle or not..*
Nope..
@CCColton yes.. you can.. make sure the soup going through your throat without touching the wisdom teeth
Try mashed banana, mashed potato with gravy, porridge with soy sauce, after one whole day, I was able to swallow down Mac & cheese, still researching for gourmet foods before I can go back to eating seafoods and steak, and all the wonderful foods that I cannot eat right now. Sigh
No. Had instant noodles few days after wisdom surgery... Now, heading back to the dentist thanks to dry socket. Worst pain I've had in a long time :(
I thought chicken and stars was a good choice
I just had a dry socket and trust me I’ve never experienced pain like that. I am a woman with three kids, play basketball my whole life, was in a car accident that cause spine issues and aches that I’ll probably always have, nothing is worse that having a dry socket
I had gotten dry socket too because they had over dosed me on the pain killers (I was 12) and was rendered unconscious for two weeks. When I woke up that by far, hands down, is the worst pain I've ever experienced to this day.
Seriously! Shit is traumatizing lol. I got dry socket a few years back when I got my 2 right side wisdoms removed and it was the worst pain in my life so far. When I went in the next day to take care of it, the lady literally scraped the inside on the area and bone with the curved plastic syringe. I was in tears immediately. I just got the last 2 taken out a couple days ago and I'm so scared of getting it again.
I remember the scraping and the packing, you know those long strips of small fabric covered in clove oil???? I literally throw up and gag if I smell or taste close oil. Burned into my memory for the rest of my life
I don't understand this dry socket where that come from? back in the days you wait 12 hours then rinse your mouth out with warm salty water every day until your gum is heal that's it
lol tf playing basketball gotta do with this?
guess i'm smoking blunts through my nose after my surgery
Thats what i did today , wasn't very enjoyable
Dude legit it works tho
You can smoke. I had 4 teeth pulled out. Smoked after 2 hours.
Never had any issue. But, there is a but, I inhaled the smoke very gently and no more than 6-7 cigarettes for the first 10 days
Ima just till i can smoke
Exactly what I did today with Pre rolls. Works alright but gives u watery eyes if u hit too hard 🤣
I wish this guy did my extraction. Damn. 🔥
Henry Cavill is really taking his dentist role seriously. I smell an Oscar!
Mane thought the same thing
U gotta love what u do 🤷🏽♂️
My girlfriend is about to get her wisdom teeth out and I was explaining to her yesterday what a dry socket is (because I’ve had a dry socket b4) and this video pops up the next day....they are listening to everything.🤦🏾♂️
Nikolas Morgan they are dude 100%
Bob Ross she loves bob ross😍
Do these dry sockets heal eventually or are they permanent?
@@nonenone2669 they heal
Nahww that’s how the universe work brodie
I was born with some type of enamel deficiency and growing up I was terrified of my dentist for multiple reasons lol. My parents taught me everything they could in my childhood and one thing I took (still take) very seriously is oral hygiene and hygiene period. I brushed at least twice a day or sometimes more depending on what I would eat and etc, I flossed every night making sure nothing was stuck in my teeth and I would use mouthwash frequently. I would get cavities or weak spots on my teeth for no reason so I was going to the dentist a lot. Once my baby teeth were practically all gone and my "adult teeth" grew in I still had issues. Finally after switching to a new dentist that I liked and who seemed to have a genuine appreciation for his work he brought my mother back one day on when I was getting my teeth cleaned and he had one of the assistants look at my mom's teeth. My dentist took us into his office to discuss things she he told me that my tooth enamel was very thin and weak. I took certain vitamins and precautions to further extend the life of my teeth. My mother and my grandmother both had similar issues, my mother had married my Dad at a relatively young age, like 19 or so and she had me when she was 21. By the time I was about 8 she already had top and bottom dentures. My grandma didn't get hers until she was almost 45 only because she didn't have the money so she lived with bad teeth for a very long time. At the age of 53 my grandma died of mouth and throat cancer. I had perfect teeth in terms of position and placement, they were so very straight without any gaps or crooked teeth. Little by little though my teeth began getting smaller, weaker, skinnier and discolored. Through highschool they looked okay but most of my molars and back teeth had cavities or were broken from having cavities and being weak. I'm 27 and just 4 days ago I went and had all my teeth extracted, most had cracks, cavities and we're broken so the surgically cut the majority of them out. The past few days I've experienced some of the most immobilizing and intense waves of pain I've ever felt. I didn't know an individual could experience this kind of paralyzing pain while conscious. There's multiple contributing factors as to why it has been such a miserable process. I have nasal polyps right, and I've went and had them removed dozens of times but they always ALWAYS come back eventually. It's kind of a game of chance whether or not they come back after surgery, a friend I had in highschool long ago also had em and he went through 7 surgeries over the course of like 10 years before finally one day after his last surgery the polyps just never came back. So, because my nose is basically completely blocked off and filled with polyps and mucus I get sick a lot and can't breath through my nose. When I was getting my teeth removed they put me on a nitrous and oxygen mix. The mask only covered my nose so they could work, I told em my situation but I had it anyways..after they numbed my gums they began the extraction and it hurt like fuckin hell! The laughing gas didn't work obviously due to my nose issues and I could still feel some of the cutting save pulling. They stuck me several times to numb me but it wasn't doing the trick. They worked as fast as they could and to make things worse I'm allergic to Advil, ibuprofen and can only use Tylenol which doesn't do shit for this kind of pain. I got addicted to painkillers years ago after I was hit by a car running a red light and going around a turn. I was on my skateboard and just as I crossed the street that motherfucker hit me. I couldn't see him and he obviously couldn't see me. I broke my arm in 2 places, cracked 4 ribs and my tailbone was shattered. After being on painkillers so long I was addicted to em and couldn't go 24 hours with them or is get really really sick. Body aches, legs cramps and pain, vomiting and diarrhea, cold sweats and chills while running a fever, couldn't sleep. So after this tooth extraction I couldn't take any painkillers, just antibiotics and Tylenol and it's been absolute hell. You couldn't pay me enough to go through this shit again.... and I mean that.
Logan Light omg I’m so sorry , hopefully ur doing better now . But wow wtf that was heartbreaking to read
You got too much time in ya hands.
@@_andresss07 So?! You also have too much time in ya hands for reading the comment and replying.
Wow I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this, keep your chin up!
My dentist gave me the PRF, and stitched up the hole. I heard that a lot of people had open holes, so I was surprised at that. It happened 13 hours ago, and I'm in about 3-4/10 pain. Wish me luck :) And good luck to everyone who is going through this, and who will be
The pain would last a day, when I had my tooth pull I cried that whole day until I went to sleep, woke up without pain in my tooth. Sleep the whole day.
most people heal with their holes open dummy
what's PFR
these and videos of people eating after they've healed up, keeps my spirits up. wont be long before i can upload my "first subway sub after extraction" video
Straight to the point AND actually informative?! Awesome video!!! Thanks for this ❤️
muah.
I got mine done today it wasn't an easy experience but it was successful which am thankful to God for ty I wasn't told all of this that's why I decided to do my own research . Stay safe everyone!
Got my wisdom teeth out last summer and just got 2 teeth pulled 2 days ago. I rinse my mouth out by just putting water in my mouth and moving my head slowly side to side then opening my mouth. I had 2 teeth on the bottom pulled to get my braces on and am very paranoid that my clot is gonna come out. Watching this helped make that nervousness go away. On my way next month to get another 2 pulled from the top that time.
Very informative. I wish I know all this information sooner. My dentist (doc) didn’t give me much home care info. Thanks
Even if we do the process you say to prevent it there’s 5% chance we still get dry socket 🤷🏽♂️ so really it just on how that blood clot is feeling that day 😂
I had it once, not fun!! Kept going back to get that clove stuff crammed in there. What a waste of time. Just take your toothbrush and listerine and scrub the site to make it bleed again. New scab forms and oila dry socket gone. It’s gonna hurt so ya just gotta prepare for some self inflicted pain but once you do it then the dry socket pain is over. They’re not allowed to tell you to do this though. All a dry socket is is exposed bone with no clot to cover it. So make it bleed again and it goes away. Simple.
Oh god thank you
"ya just gotta prepare for some self inflicted pain" AMERICA FUCK YEAH!
You are a fucking genious
Is this actually true cuz just got a tooth pulled and been smoking now I'm scared and need to know if itll work before trying
@@tjwoodring3775 smoke through your nose
I had 4 tooth extractions done to me for orthodontics purposes. The sad and annoying thing is, my last tooth extraction developed into a dry socket even if it was stitched. It hurts so bad like a tooth decay but multiply it by 5 and the pain reaches up to your temple and ear. Hope this gets better soon UwU
What was done for it? How are you now?
I am experiencing this right now. A tooth extraction 5 days ago and I have this dry socket issue, after 3 days of extraction, the pain has worsen. It is 3 times more than normal toothache. This morning saw the dentist, never in my life cried on dentist's chair....this morning they put anesthesia injection at the place of pain and then scratched the socket ( place where roots were) with an iron thing to make it bleed. The worst nightmare, I can say. I do not wish this to happen even to an enemy.
This doctor sounds competent.
I've gotten all my wisdom teeth extracted, I didnt get any information about not to spit or suck on straws for example. I did all of these things anyway and still never experienced a dry socket, the pain from extraction completely went away by day 4.
Marry me 😂😂😂
Recently got my tooth pulled out and I actually wanted to see a dry socket to know the difference
Same
My freaking dentist didn't tell me this post extraction. Glad i seen this. Good
My dentist didn’t tell me anything about blood clots either.. or explain the importance of biting down on gauze.. or what healthy healing process would like or how long after would I not have to worry about the blood clot.. < that’s the question I have. It’s been 72 hours. No pain, but I want to make certain it’s healing properly
How are you doing, Oscar. I had all mine removed 6 hours ago. So far, so good.
From what I read dry socket is rare happening in 2%-5% in patients.
It actually jumps to almost 20% for impacted lower wisdom teeth.
@@emilywolenski1487 what about upper wisdom tooth?
@@navynation3746 Not sure. Google it lol
I cannot keep that damn gauze for long it makes me want to throw up worst feeling ever!
Haysel Orantes Girl me too! I just came back from getting a tooth pulled and I had to take that shit out. It was making me nauseous!
Haysel Orantes me too when my mouth tastes like shit it’s horrible 😔🤢
I tried to have a snack after 2 extractions & the gauge came loose & I almost swallowed it. Super gross 🤢🤮
It hurts I remove it imdiatly after I leave the dentist
When it comes out it is bloody and wet
Ewww
My new dentist is bloody is useless and didn't tell me not to do this stuff:((
Just had my wisdom tooth removed a few hours ago. She just gave me a prescription and told me to just eat ice cream but never inform me about tje do's and don'ts. Now I kinda clean the hole where the tooth was and I just watched this vid. I'm now paranoid if I'll get to experience this dry socket on the next few daya
Chael Storm did you get dry socket?
That's kinda on you, i had a molar removed and the first thing i asked was what can and cant i do. you should be asking questions and looking things up.
Cordelia Thomas He should have
Chael Storm You should be asking them
I got my tooth extracted hour ago. I am heavy smoker but won't smoke till tomorrow morning . It is 21:40 atm , got tooth out at 21:00
Didn't speak to nobody as I don't want to make pressure on mouth , just layed down as I don't want to move a lot , put cold gauze over my cheek to help swelling , took Ibuprofen 600mg , off to sleep and will have my head raised on a pillow instead of full mount horizontal sleeping . So my way is just easy going , and yeah I will eat tomorrow , I can be without food , not an issue , had a meal before extraction and Ibuprofen before it and now just recovery .
Can't wait for a espresso tomorrow , one gentle sip on a left side and couple of gentle cig puffs on the same side.
Second time I got tooth out and never had problems
How'd it go?
Thank you for video. Very well explained and gave me comfort knowing what and when to expect anything ... I’m hoping to avoid dry socket , drinking from cup and chicken noodle on opposite side of extraction.
Dr Currie, really enjoy your videos you're a very courteous , knowledgeable and very helpful. Wished you was my Dentist! Wade from Bakersfield Ca
I’m sitting here at 4am on day 3 of a dry socket. This is the worst pain I’ve experienced. Even morphine isn’t touching the pain. My face is swollen and I’ve a massive bruise over my jawline. It was a really difficult extraction. I don’t smoke, I didn’t use a straw and I only gently salt water rinsed on day 2 as per my dentists extractions.
I went to the OOH dentist on Saturday morning and he numbed it and popped on a dressing. At least I got some sleep while it was numbed.
I feel the one side of my face as been used for football practice.
I’m on MST sustained relief tabs routinely but I’ve also got morphine sulphate tablets 10mg for breakthrough pain. That isn’t touching this ghastly tortuous pain. I can’t wait till 9am till my Dentist surgery opens to get it numbed up.
Hope everything is fine now. I just had my left upper side wisdom teeth removed.. hope everything will turn out well.. i smoked weed already though.. i cant stop with it.. but i slowly inhale and drink kamille tea aside. Hope no problems!
Update?
What's OOH dentist?
sucking bad, rinsing bad, at least for a day or two. good advice.
I'm 22 and got 2 wisdom teeth removed. I haven't ate in a day going on two I been off water and light bush or mouth wash. No foods, smoothies with spoons no straw . Take meds for infection prevention & pain killers if needed and pray it hurry TF up and heal
Can’t imagine the pain of exposed nerve and bone
I'm watching this because my doctor rushed me out the chair because he was running late and gave me zero instructions.
That is actually pretty common. My surgeon is great. Awesome human, but he was swamped that day (Friday). I was given a set of instructions on paper, though. Stick to your routine and be disciplined! Be prepared to have the same routine for 1-2 weeks, maybe even a month.
I was going to smoke but thanks to you I’m not 💪🏽🙏🏾
I did smoke a blunt after my wisdom teeth were pulled nothing happened thank God, but I also took very slow hits off of it.
@CFH Girl SAME OMG
CFH Girl today lol
CFH Girl thanks for that info!!! I will do x x
Smoke thr your nose
It’s been 2 or 3 weeks since I had my tooth extracted, can I drink with straws now?
Edit: actually I should just ask my dentist instead
3 weeks? Then yes, typical extraction heals in around 2 weeks.
If I don’t stop bleeding after one more episode of criminal minds I’m getting a black tea bag from vons
Very easy to understand, thanks!
I'd like to know what percentage of people get "dry socket" I'd never heard of it, but they made it sound like you basically have to meditate for 2 weeks to avoid 'dry socket' and if you do get dry socket then man it's terrible!
I just have no reference : I understand i'm making a blood clot baby in the socket. But no clue as to what the limits are for what you can do. I guess what I'm saying is the dentist read off the warning label like it was the back of a kids toy in California: IF everything gives you dry socket then everything and nothing is dry socket.
my lower right jaw currently has a bad dry socket. my ear and shoulder are killing me. be safe fellow teens.
Dude my pain is in the same exact place and it’s effecting my ear too. Did your dry socket in your lower right jaw heal? If so how long?
I had dry socket and had it filled a couple hours ago, that pain is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
I felt so weak and tired the first day. Maybe because I have low Iron with the blood loss.
I have very low iron as well, you should look into taking a supplement. I take 21st Century Slow Release Iron, easier on the stomach.
He forgot to mention that in most wisdom teeth extraction cases it is nearly impossible to avoid dry socket. If there were complications with the extraction such as I don’t know needing to cut a hole to fish the too out. Important thing to note is that dry socket isn’t always bad. Its just The way your body decided to heal itself. As long as your not experiencing an extraordinary amount of pain then you should be god to just flush the sockets out yourself and keep rinsing. You should be just fine at the end of the 2 week recovery. Keep in mind some people just take longer to heal. Best to get them pulled before you’re in your mid 20s so you’re still somewhat youthful and can heal like a champ.
I'm 15 and I'm getting mine out lol
Thats cool how are you feeling now? It took me a while to recover.
I just think all 4 at a time is just too much.
@@sl4983 honestly it was worth it. I wouldn’t go through that agin but getting it all taken care of all at once was the best route. If i had 1 or 2 taken out I would’ve never gone back to get the rest pulled.
Just had my Wisdom tooth out, I'm on day 3 now which is supposed to be the beginning of dry socket pain but so far feel completely fine.
Wishing I was going here for my wisdom teeth extraction...
I used Gauze all day (changing it every 45min -1hr) my dirst day until it was time to sleep. Today (next day) i don't really need it and I started to gently brush my teeth and rinse with only warm salt water. So far it's good, but I'm still afraid to actually eat LOL
I had my wisdom teeth removed and it wasn't bad. my mouth was a little sore when the Novocaine wore off but I had antibiotics and pills for the pain. was all good a few days later
Fantastic information. I appreciate THIS so much man.
My dentist didn’t explain me as well what a shame
Well... sounds like I’ll be making a call Monday.
Would you know if a blood clot came out right away? Also, is the pain from the dry socket instant, or does it take a few days to notice anything??
Following
I Took out 2 of my wisdom teeth 2 days ago and it's hurting crazy even after I took 2 painkillers at once
I'm happy I watched this video
I got all mine out today and I’m only finding out now about a dry socket
Watching after my bleeding didn't stop... Doctor stitched me up but still bleeding alot infact... Thanks for the suction advice I just happen to drink a juice with a straw after the extraction maybe that's why.. and also spitting..
Benedict Debbarma you’re so brave!
Great presentation.
I have one now. I just think I didn’t bleed enough to form one. When I took the gauze out there was only a small pinprick drop of blood on it. I don’t smoke, no straws, no birth control...soft foods. So idk. But it HURTS so bad! I’m on my sixth day, went to my dentist. No infection, healing ok. He put a soothing paste and irrigated it. As long as I keep it clean and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash, it keeps the pain down. But UGH!!! NOT FUN! 😕
Saving Stefanie hurts like a bitch lol.x
The simplest way to manage dry socket is to bleed the area again and then manage bleeding with alvo gel
what's alvo gel
I had a molar removed 2 weeks ago and got dry socket. The clot fell out on day 4. The strange thing is I had NO PAIN.. just a tad sore and horrid taste in my mouth and stanky breath 😝. Today it's clotted. It's healing thank goodness. I have a tip that I just heard about =If you get dry socket just take your tooth brush and scrape the area mildly. It will cause bleeding and eventually a clot of you don't aggravate it. Dentists can't tell you to do but it works my friend did it.
So you had no pain when your clot fell out? Only the taste and odor?
There was a clot on the gauze when I took it out to change it. 😔
Same happened to me I was very disappointed.
My dentist told me to use a straw 😂😂
Stevie Bradford wants you to come back so u can make him mulla
Stevie Bradford your doctor sus 😂
Wtf seriously? What shitty dentist is this lol
Tell your dentist to give back the license.
you just heard him wrong
My dentist did not tell me about dry socket.... Infact he made it sound that nothing would happen post surgery.. and did not even consider a follow up.
What if you have food in there and you can't get it out. What happens to that small food particle then? Will it dissolve with the bone tissue and still grow skin and everything will be ok?
Have to use a pick to get it out otherwise t may cause issues down the road
I had some food but i washed it all out with a special syringe to take out the food inside the empty socket
mrs. lee Nope u will get an infection most likely
You’re suppose to rinse with salt
Danny Irish Greene lmao you’re on every comment are you a certified dentist or no?
My blood clot keeps dislodging
Darn I’ve been spitting blood all day
I haven't. I did however spit - not extremely forcefully, but I did about 45 minutes after the procedure. I have more canals than most so it was a HUGE tooth. It was the last molar on my left side - bottom. I read the directions that said if I was still bleeding a lot use another gauze pad. I did. Kept replacing them for 6 hours. Scared to eat. Scared to drink. Scared to swallow (makes a suction feeling). Scared to clear throat. Doc called me tonight. Said was all was going well so far, but I know me. I'm fearing the worst... I had my wisdom teeth out years ago. This is a molar that needed to be taken out due to mass decay.
I bled for 12 hours.. I was in A&E, nothing helped.. in the end Max Fax stopped the bleeding after 12 hours at the hospital. Now 3 days later, I'm in so much pain.
Swallow don't spit.. So ive bern told.
I think it’s okay to spit if it’s before the blood clot has formed
.yeah me to , ii just got them out
I'm going to be honest here and tell you that I've had 7 teeth removed and have never gotten a dry socket. I also smoke but put a piece of gauze over the site and throw it away after.
beckham hahn wow you are experimental
But what does a clot look like? How do you know it’s healing?
It's when you see a red glob of blood on the site of extraction
Sarah Shadowcat whitish redish blackish..As long as thr isn't any Yellow Puss..u are fine
Cris P Good...It's healing
I had an extraction on Wednesday and it clotted like jelly and after 2 days it's turning white, it's fibrin and that means it's healing. You'll know if you have a dry socket because it's painful as hell and you'll have terrible breath.
@@Xunder_oathX i had my tooth extraction 4 days ago and now its abit black inside and white around and i have a bad breath its also painful but i can still survive with it so not extremly painful
So I ate 3hrs after my surgery. Following the meal I did a saltwater rinse. I was afraid that food will get stuck in the socket. I really hope I didn’t affect the blood clot much.
I end up with a dry socket after every extraction no matter what I do or how careful I am. Can I have the skin of the socket stitched closed.
Yes.
Yes
I just got my upper left wisdom tooth removed about an hour ago. My dentist didn't tell me any advise before I left the clinic. I trust you guys, enlighten me please
Well I'm on day 8, i use straw to drink after getting all four my wisdom teeth removed, and after watching this video, make me worried, i only feel a little pain,i also haven't been smoking,so i guees I'm fine?.Anyway good luck on your recovery
I just had my wisdom tooth extracted (two hours ago) but the doctor didnt tell me not to spit (sorry but i was grossed by the taste of blood) so that's all I did since the minute I got home. I also touched it with my tongue many times, the emptiness it left felt weird so I couldn't help it. I am now worried this might cause a dry socket 😣 Am so pissed the doctor didnt even warn me!
I feel ya I got mine done Wednesday
@@jeremyrobison5129 Am doing fine now and it all went well. I hope it's the same for you!
@@sanabenjannet1712 did ur mouth was still sore after 5 days?
@@jeremyrobison5129 Not really. The first day after the procedure I ate only soup and yogurt but the following day I was doing much better.
Best explanation on yt
I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled June 12th Monday and now it's Friday and not eating solids is so hard to do. As soon as mom told me that the Oral Surgeons didn't have to stitch me up was surprising I'm like gtfo. Does anyone know how long it takes for the holes from the wisdom teeth to heal if you didn't get stitches?
Travon Martin could you answer your own question? Lol its been 4 months since you've asked, so I assume you're healed and I'd love to know the answer cause that's how mine are right now....
it is 2 weeks for gum to grow over and 3-6 moths for bone to heal and reabsorb
LUMOS my gums are pretty much healed over and today is exactly the two week mark
see I am all knowing LUMOS ;)
Use salt and water for like 2 days after extraction. No dry socket will form
I used salt n warm water evry 4 hours.
Not true
Bullshit I did everything right and still had one.. but the pain isn’t as bad as people make it out to be.. I mean it hurts but it’s manageable.. doctor will just numb you up, put some glue like shit in the hole, prescribe 20 more Vicodin and tell you to fuck off
thanks alot for the video
Botox infection
My dentist wrote in his instructions “rinse with warm salt water vigorously and spit out” and I think I have a dry socket, - I’m really upset and in pain. I reread it to see if I miss read but no I didn’t, it literally says that.
I highly doubt it. You need to re read
I always keep my gauze the day of the extraction AND the whole next day and never get a dry socket. I am a heavy smoker btw, but I smoke carefully after an extraction.
You sound like if having teeth removed is an every day thing xD
Lets say i got one molar removed on the left side. No bleeding the second day. Is it ok to smoke if i waited from friday until the following tuesday???
Why don’t they cauterize the gap? Like wouldn’t that just make it covered or place a fake tooth/covering to avoid shit falling in there?
I dont get why dentists dont put a few stitches in or something to prevent this from happening. I got a lower molar pulled and i think i lost at least part of the clot it just wont stop hurting and this is day 8 i got no meds from the dentist just told me to take ibuprofen. Too hell with this pain
My Dr put stiches in but I think part of the clot still dislodged. I'm in pain it's not severe but it's unpleasant.
@@Iceis_Phoenix go have it looked at i let mine heal on its own and it still hasn't healed properly and it didn't stop hurting till about 23 days after it was pulled.
@@johnclifford7631 today is 5 days since pulled. It seems to be healing and the pain is bearable. I haft to go to work today. If it don't look better by Wed I'll go see the dentist I have Wed off. Thanks 😘
I got a stitch in my mouth where it was removed. As I bit down on one of the gauze pads very shortly after, I heard a sound that was very squeaky and squelching in nature. Now that I'm able to open my mouth and see what's happening because the swelling has finally gone down enough. And what happened is that somehow the tissue incision was stitched up but tore next to the stitch causing a whole new hole and leaving a dry socket. Sometimes there's just no way of winning.
My dentist didn't tell me any of this and the first thing I did when I got home was rinse my mouth 🤦🏻♀️
CFH Girl lol omg I kept the gauze on for a while too!!!!! They said “change the gauze every 30min” lol wtf 🤦🏻♀️
U should practice in the uk I want ur treatment
Just had my upper tooth extracted an hour ago no pain so far but I'm now starving , I'm scared of dislodging that clot man.
I got it on my back right and it doesn’t hurt a lot only things get stuck in the hole until I wash it out with water. When will this close up?
lol i just got 5 teeth pulled and my right top canine cut out of the top of my mouth. there was a baby tooth in it’s place but it was impacted so the baby tooth wouldn’t come loose. they put stitches where they cut it open and it’s so swollen 💀
Man why can't you be in Jersey!!
thanks for the upload
How long is dry socket a risk for? I’m on day 6, is there a day I can reach as a sort of “you’re good” point?
How are you now? Interested in the answer for this
7-10 days I’ve heard
Thank you for this video!
lol... I had my first two removed a year ago and I went jogging the next day and I was perfectly fine.... I had my other two removed yesterday I won't go jogging I'll stay down but it's so hard for me to stay still.... I think what help the first time was I ate something warm (soup) and 30 minutes later something cold (ice cream). I think warm cold works.
its a tooth extraction not a limb amputation. I had a fractured molar removed following unsuccessful root canal and it has been no issue. I really don't know why people(who haven't had dry socket) are babies about this.

I got a tooth pulled today at 2 p.m.
and now it's midnight and I'm in agony 😭 seems to soon for dry socket?? I just want to sleep 😴
I had to buy pain killers because my dentist didnt have any and I could barely move my jaw .beef broth at room temp was all I could eat
