This video discusses a common complication of dental extractions known as alveolar osteitis or (dry socket). The causes, prevention, and management of this painful condition are explored.
Dentist did exactly what you’re talking about but failed to tell me I’d still have pain lmao. I want to … I just want to go to sleep for a long, LONG TIME 😓
I watched your video for pain when I was dying with mine 😭😭
How long have you been? Mine it's over a month now, improvement is there but very slow
How are you now?
This is the knly video which actualy talks about how long the pain from this condition lasts. Thank you!
Thank you, doctor. It was very helpful.
Took my tooth out yesterday, woke up 10min ago in soo much pain it still feels like my nerves are angry as if I never took the rotten tooth out. I was so confused, thank you for this video.
Lmao THIS is exactly how it feels
How are you now? Did you recover?
Plot twist:
It’s not your tooth that was rotten.
It was your heart
So what was it??? Just healing or dry socket
I’ve been researching this for a few days and you are the only resource that explained it can go away on its own as long as you can manage the pain. Thanks.
I'm glad that it helped! All the best!
I can’t manage the pain
I am currently dealing with a dry socket. My tooth was a difficult extraction so this explains the pain. The clot really never fully developed so by day 3 it was over the top radiating to the ear and eye. Thanks for explaining what you did. Either I was so uncomfortable from the broken tooth to begin with that I didn’t retain the info. I appreciate the thoroughness.
I had a complex extraction (had to drill into my jaw bone to get my tooth out) and developed a dry socket too. Unimaginable pain.
Same here and this pain is unbearable
How long did it take to heal?
bro the fucking pain is unbearable
@daviiidoff you heal up yet? I'm going through it, sucks man
One good tip, for anyone having to do an extraction to reduce the chances of having a dry socket. Have a deep clean done beforehand on the same day, by scaling and cleaning your mouth of tartar and plaque, it gets rid of a lot of bacteria which would otherwise affect the bloodclot, so this in essence will prep your mouth for the extraction. It will cost more, but will help to heal your extraction quicker and leave your mouth feeling fresh.
What an excellent video. I’m in a ton of pain but having this broken down makes me feel better.
This has been exponentially helpful. Experiencing dry socket after a traumatic removal. I have been on a high hormone birth control for endo and had no idea that could affect a tooth extraction. Going through hell trying to heal. This helped easy my mind about the process and give me some hope for a light at the end of the tunnel.
My daughter is going through it. How long did it take to heal?
I have watched a million videos about dry sockets but this one explains it better than all of em.
Best video ever. :)
Finally a helpful video on dry socket, I’ve been in agony for the past few days and has to wait out the weekend before going back. I had a wisdom and impacted molar pulled 4 days ago. Idiot dentist told me it’d be like this for 5 more weeks but all the information I can find is a few more days so I’m relieved to see that. Thank you for the information!
Hey man at least he is a human ... He just did not kno, with that wrong statement he did not do any demage to you .
this is very helpful. a detailed explanation of dry socket. i just had a difficult extraction and developed dry socket. wish i saw this video earlier wouldn’t have had to withhold the pain for so long before i went back to the dental clinic.
After my surgery I loved that my doctor gave me a paper with all the things that I should or shouldn't do and the time schedule for those actions. Otherwise I think I would forget half of the things he said.
That's a great point. Lots of times during the post-op discussion with a patient, I am certain they're just wanting to get home to take it easy. We try to hand these out at our office so it's good to know that someone reads them! All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia my nurse explained a few things to me before the surgery but I wish I had a paper to read later cause I made mistakes ,,😭 3rd day and I'm feeling more pain on one extraction. It's not severe but def not going away fully with the meds. I'm having follow up soon
@@OnlineExodontia my dentist gave me one of those. Unfortunately, I messed up on two things. 1. Was that I didn't know how hard i had to bite on gauze, so I bled fora few hours.
2. I missed a part of the paper that told me I should avoid rinsing, which is something I did when I got home a few hours after the dentist appointment (this was before I properly bit on gauze).
I am currently on day 6, and it appears that I am healing normally. One of my sutures fell out today. I hope that won't be troublesome in the future.
Bro. this guy said more information than my dentist said in the whole 3 weeks I’ve been seeing him ... (since my operation and dry socket) fml
Fr when I went back my surgeon was only gonna irrigate one side but I made him do both. Surprise surprise I have two dry sockets and he won’t refill my pain meds
It will get better on its own. Thank god. I’m dying from the pain of this but I have hope.. awesome video
Btw how did you know you had dry sockets?
@@theonewnocensor like many have said, you're going to feel the pain and it'll probably be the most painful thing you've ever felt in your life. Even saying it's extremely painful is an understatement.
@@fififairuzfuyooo I had dry socket with no pain still went in to get it checked and now I'm in the worst pain because of the paste. Straight up made it hurt when it didn't. I regret going in I still have it in there and it's doing nothing rn
@@elfbrownie7226 just hang in there, you'll feel better soon!
@@elfbrownie7226 This is what I fear. Why did you think you had it if there was no pain?
Thank god this video was stress free. It cured my anxiety
Great information, it is useful to know that the pain will gradually subside in approximately 7 days. Also to know That it is a common complication from surgery, and it will heal on its own with growth over the hole. If one can deal with the pain using ibuprofen, no need to go to the dentist. Thank you, this is a great help!
Thanks - glad it was helpful! All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia can I brush my Teeth with toothpaste after 24 hours?
@@dongxx yes
ibruprofen didn’t help me 😞😞
I canmot stand this pain!!! Ibuprofen is not work8ng well on me
Thank you! I am 15 and got all four of my impacted wisdom teeth out last Monday. I started to feel pain about 3 days post op. I am now one week post op and am still in pain. I NEVER cry from pain and I think I cry now 3 times a day whenever my meds stop working. It was so bad I woke up at 3 in the morning for the past three nights in pain. The pain was so bad it would radiate my entire face to the point where I thought I was going to vomit. I’ve been taking my prescribed meds (which have now run out) and Tylenol and Advil. THEY DID NOTHING! Thank you so much for this video I go back to see my doctor in two days.
You bet Davis...sorry you've been enduring that. Dry socket is a challenging thing that unfortunately happens sometimes and it can be pretty debilitating. All the best in your recovery!
omg i totally understand where you’re coming from.I’m sorry for you.I’ve had my 2 impacted bottom teeth removed like 2 weeks ago & 3 days post op i started to feel EXCRUTIATING PAIN like h22/24 it was so horrible that at that time i felt like i’d rather have someone shooting me so i can stop feeling this level of pain. It radiated through my jaw & face & all the meds they gave me did nothing.Also if i didn’t search online i would never have known what i had because my dentist told me that it was totally normally for me to feel this pain & that i didnt need to go back to his office.
SAME THING IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING TO ME
@@ashleyroselilly2134 how have you been feeling now?
@@DroidMastertaylor-gang-or-die yes exactly, even after they covered it with a paste and applied local Anesthesia and I took heavy pain killers- I still felt every single thing. The only thing I could do was sit and cry and take more pain killers.
Hey y'all clove oil was a life saver when i had dry socket and couldn't get to a dentist every couple days. Once i was diagnosed i got it cleaned out, kept it cleaned out and then used clove oil on gauze on it and its the only thing that touched the pain. Weird i know, but if you have a dry socket youll try anything desperately to relieve the pain. I tried this that someone told me and it worked.
Now im sharing it anytime i see dry socket cause that was literally the worst.
Did you have to dilute it with water?
@@TC-nj8ug A little by wetting the gauze or cotton ball. You only need a drop of the oil.
Going through this now. I Take estradiol. Hum. Also, thought I was supposed to rinse vigorously to rinse out the oatmeal I’ve been eating for 5 days straight. So painful. I’m so happy my dentist was in today and saw me on Friday afternoon. I’m Better already.
Came in clutch
Best video ever!!! I have been in torture and my dentist was not great as explaining I started to believe he was not the best
Thanks for your kind words!
I just had a tooth extracted today, great doctor, but didn't really explain much and honestly I have learned more from speaking to others who have had this done and this video helped A LOT! I don't have dry socket as it was done just a few hours ago, but I am trying to do EVERYTHING I can to avoid this nightmare. I have been a pack a day smoker for nearly 6 years and I haven't had a single one since I left the office... I am about ready to slam my head through the wall but I figure the nicotine cravings must be better than dry socket.. not taking any chances. Thanks for the video, if I can survive this one, I got all 4 wisdoms coming on in July... I guess this is my practice run
How did you get on and did you manage to avoid dry socket? How long did you end up avoiding cigarettes for?!
Nicotine patches work beautifully
Yes the dry socket is way worse than craving. The dry socket pain is horrible pain worse then the toothache had to go and get my socket packed that was painful but worth it the medication took the pain away that was on the guaze
@@electricslider1091old comment, but doing recent research did your gauze come out the extraction site?
Doctors need to stop relying on conversation to instruct the patient of what to do. Important details can be easily missed or forgotten especially when the patient is already managing pain and stress when they come in. The on paper directions my oral surgeon gave me don't even allude to the need to keep a blood clot in place. Just reading through it otherwise uninformed the gauze is just for stopping the bleeding and "dry socket" is caused by smoking. The instruction sheet never even tells you what dry socket is.
i got my wisdom teeth out a week ago and have been so scared i was gonna get a dry socket.. i followed every rule though as much as it sucked not being able to eat and drink the stuff i love and my mouth has healed healthy :)
What suff did you eat bye the way and thank you
@@danniellajohnson5025 i just ate mostly soft foods like mashed potatos, applessauce, and jello the first 2 days. then i moved to semi soft foods like eggs and avocado. by like day 5 i was able to chew pasta and sort of chewy foods. by day 7 i ate almost everything except spicy foods and very crunchy foods. by day 10 i was able to go back to my complete diet. but everyone is different and some people heal at different rates. also make sure to salt water rinse your mouth after every meal for about a week just to make sure food does not get in the socket.
@@stephaniee._26 aww thank you so much thank has help me a lot and i have got Dry socket at the moment
@@danniellajohnson5025 ohh i'm sorry i hope you get better!
@@stephaniee._26 thank you hun :)
I ain’t gon lie. This is suicidal type pain. I ain’t never been suicidal until I had to deal with this. Thoughts every morning I woke up of putting a gun right through my jaw.
That's no good. Hopefully you have recovered or sought care from your dentist to help manage the pain. All the best to you!
Great I just realized I had a dry socket 2 weeks after my wisdom teeth extraction. Calling my dentist ASAP tomorrow. *edit actually it looks clean for now as it doesn’t look infected
@@xguti001 when I had my wisdoms removed they sowed mine up so I didn’t even have to worry bout dry socket. Good luck bro.
@@gotnokush thanks. My sockets had stitches but like there’s still a hole there. I have been rinsing it though to remove food particles that I assumed was the clot but it wasn’t upon closer inspection.
@@xguti001 geezzz. Get well soon man.
Man I’m getting over mine good god why Dry Sockets are a thing is literally the worst I was dying literally for a whole week with that pain it was god awful I mean it’s still here but it’s not as bad as it was
what caused ur dry socket??? i’m so scared i’m getting 8 teeth out on tuesday.
hohohoda n when the dentist pulls it out a blood clot is supposed to form in the hole after he’s done it’s why they tell you not to suck through the straw, smoke and other stuff because the sucking motion can dislodge the blood clot and if you do (which I did) it leaves the hole open leaving exposed bone and the pain is just god awful your whole side of the face throbs and it just feels horrible you don’t want to get one try your best to avoid it but if you do end up getting one you can go back to the dentist they have this awesome stuff that takes the pain away it’s called Dry Socket Paste it tastes horrible but once you get it in oh my god it’s like such a relief lol I had to do that once and not again lol
KeybladeScar why did you not listen to the dentist lol 😭😭 I’m still scared i’m gonna get it because i sometimes catch myself making a sucking motion with my mouth and i have no idea why i do it.... IM LITERALLY SO SCARED
hohohoda n don’t worry to much it’s a common thing that people do it’s just being human ya know but yeah don’t worry to much getting a Dry Socket it pretty common in some people and I happen to be one of them I’m just glad the pain is over but it’ll take about 2 to 3 weeks to heal and also when you eat try your best not to chew on the side where your teeth are out cause food gets stuck in there but are you getting your Wisdom Teeth pulled?
KeybladeScar yes i’m getting 4 wisdoms out and then 4 premolars
Thank you, I just got my dry socket packed on Monday and I was worried because last night I started feeling pain again, it was less, but same pain. It would have been nice for my dentist to tell me that after packing it, it wouldn’t be a forever relief but more of a temporary relief. Thanks for the video!
That's what I'm going through rate now, did it take awhile to heal ?
This was so helpful!! I have dry socket and needed more information about it. Thank you!!
How long it takes to heal? Its so painful
Up
Did you go to the dentist or heal it yourself
I was recommended to goto an oral surgeon for 1 wisdom tooth. Got a dry socket and I was in pain from day 3-5 and I tried calling the office but my calls went unanswered (Friday). Let the weekend pass and showed up to their office first thing on Monday and they had the audacity to say “why didn’t you let us know sooner” I had a horrible infection and now I have to restart the process. Never going back there again.. Don’t wish this pain upon anyone
How are you now?
@@shreya-tl1mv healed up but the process took much longer than it should I still get food stuck where they took the tooth out. I just use a syringe to rinse it out
I got a extraction of a tooth and developed a dry socket that was worse pain than the toothache. So went back to dentist he packed my socket with gauge and medicine was on the gauge that he packed my socket with,that was painful also packing the socket,but after a few mins after he was done no more pain was in relief and no hurting. It works great packing the dry socket only pain is when he was packing my socket,its amazing medicine to use
How long did the dry socket take to close??
How long did it take to close?
Unreal pain, I had it took a solid 3 weeks to subside , pure agony, cudnt eat, cud not sleep, struggled to talk, went through boxes of painkillers like sweets, back to dentist 4 times, on antibiotics done evrything the said but this was torture. Was up during night with frozen peas on face. Anyone who gets this I feel for them.
Sounds like you had a rough go! Hopefully you're doing better now. I wish you all the best and thanks for watching!
@Gaz Ring gbgjg ggG : Im day 2 after wisdom extraction - Your experience is my worst fear. I'm practically getting anxiety attacks just thinking about it as I have some bad mouth odour and that is supposed to be a sign. What can I do if anything to pre empt it or something? I cannot stand that amount of pain.
@@painless4785 hopefully you’ll be ok, my advice will be ring up dentist straight away and get them to check it and pack the hole, it’s the exposure to open nerves and bone that caused all of my pain. Take care.
This is the only helpful video I’ve actually found on dry sockets
Best explanation I have been able to find on the internet in the last 48 hours of pain. It is day 5 and Just knowing that this will start to subside on its own is the most beneficial to me as I don't have the money for continued care. Thank you for managing to care from so very far away 🤗💛
Great to hear! If your symptoms aren’t improving it is possible that there could be causes other than dry socket so keep that in mind and be sure to follow up with your provider. All the best and thanks for the kind words!
Very rarely do I comment on a TH-cam video, but thank you so much. You have been so informative just even at a patients stand point and helped put a lot of fears and worries to rest. Thank you so much.
Awesome - that means a lot. Thanks for watching! All the best!
Currently dealing with dry socket on the left bottom side of my mouth. It’s day 9 since my wisdom teeth removal and I’m in a lot of pain. I’m going back to the oral surgeon tomorrow to get it checked out.
That’s rough. Unfortunately this happens sometimes and for whatever reason some resolve quickly and others drag out. I wish you the best!
Thank you I just had a success teeth extraction wisdom teeth removal and had nitrous oxide and valium no problem was happy with the end result I am blessed 🎉
I did something like this- I was working a month long gig (no days off) and got my bottom right wisdom removed the day prior to my flight to my gig. I smoked, I ate crunchy things, then met my match on about day 4. Thank God my Dentist gave me tons of amoxicillin, Ibuprofen, and Tylenol, or I wouldn’t have been able to make it. I would clean the site myself by removing any food with one of those poke tools, and tweezers/ cotton swabs, and then rinse the site with salt water. I then would brush my teeth & I had medicated toothpaste at the time for my gums, so I figured it would help. Afterwards, I would rinse again and then squeeze oragel inside and packing wet gauze in the hole- following up with taking one ibuprofen 500 & one Tylenol 500 & amoxicillin. Slowly it got better, and then I realized the gums were healing/ closing. I feel no pain as of now (2 months later) but it definitely took about 16/17 days post extraction to finally have a 90% better sense of relief.
I'm on day 4 right now and it's been the worst. I almost vomited from the pain. I had my general dentist pull the tooth and it ended up being a traumatic extraction. The tooth broke into 4 pieces and it was like 4 extractions in 1. The first day was sore but tolerable, days two and three it felt a lot better, then BAM day 4 I had gum pain, jaw pain and it was unbearable. It's Friday evening so I can't see my dentist until Monday. Ibuprofen and Tylenol have not helped. The only thing that worked was today I went and got Red Cross Toothache with eugenol and packed the socket with it - I was worried it was going to sting bad and it didn't - you just have to be very careful not to touch other parts of your mouth it will sting - but it's decreased the pain probably by 80% and has made it at least tolerable until it's over and can see my dentist.
I’m experiencing the same and am also on day 4. How long was it til it got better for you?
The best explanation I’ve found. Your video has me thinking I need to go back to my dentist. Good job sir! 👍
Wow you are so good at explaining ! Thank you so much , I wish we had more teachers like you back in the university . Thanks a lot, greetings from Athens , Greece
Very much appreciated! All the best and thanks for watching!
Had a traumatic tooth extraction about 4 days ago - the tooth broke before it could come out in full .. 4days later and I still have pain in the site. A top molar pulled 1/8 and it’s just so painful. I hope it can be over soon.
You are the only one who relieved my anxiety
Thank you so much
The last reason with the force may be the reason I’m probably experiencing dry socket. The dentist was pulling and twisting so hard to get the tooth out because my root was curved
That's too bad. As mentioned, that is more just a clinical observation that I've had, but regardless I wish you a speedy recovery!
Same with me. 1 hour of extraction.... Was horrible.
Buy a plastic or rubber tipped syringe from the drug store. Too many dentists send us home without something to properly flush out the socket. If you're having bottom teeth removed, it's a very high chance of happening no matter how careful you are. I used it to flush with salt water and the pain substantially improved by doing that. Applying some orajel or any other brand around the gums was also another life saver. The ibprofen and Tylenol did an okay job, but it really only takes the edge off when you're dealing with dry socket. Just my two cents after dealing with absolute agony for 5 days, lol.
Haha mate taking the 800mg ibuprofen and two panadol hospital dentist wont treat dry socket as they only prioritise extraction patients. Im just leaving it and washing with mouth wash and have antibiotics for the infection on my lymphnode. Have no idea if its going to heal but heres hoping. Day 4 now 🤪
@@toddb1208 im day 7 the pain is my only symptom but with my pain killee it heals me quickly :(
Ibuprofen and Tylenol never came close to touching my pain. Like I wasted so many pills
I don’t know if I have dry socket this is my third day and it’s still aching I don’t taste nor smell any bad odor in my mouth but I’m having anxiety having this because of the ache and the ache around the area because my dentist haven’t said anything what are the do’s and don’ts so I’m basically just searching online. I don’t smoke, didn’t brush my teeth really for a day after the extraction, did the cold compress and salt water, didn’t drink from straw and just eat porridge until now. Day 2 evening, that’s when I started to feel the pain, I’m going back to my dentist just to make sure.
Never thought hands can explain so well 👍
Man I read the directions and everything since I was kind of numb so everything the dentist was telling me wasn't catching on. I was very nervous to begin with.
Use clove oil and a cotton ball till ya can get it fixed trust.me it works!! Good.luck out there
Excellent video and explanation of Dry Socket! I'm going to Subscribe to your channel and learn more! 5 days post extractions for dentures with 10 teeth removed, very sore but no dry socket and I suppose I'm in the clear at this point. Learning all I can about the process and I appreciate Drs. like you who share the info where laymen can access it! Bless you! An informed patient is a good patient.
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful. I wish you the best!
Dealing with this right now. What I'm really worried about is residual food debris. The pain is manageable, and I've only been eating 'solid' food once or twice a day. Otherwise it's yogurt or low sugar smoothies. I take ibuprofen, then eat, and by the time I'm done eating and giving my teeth a quick brush, that's when I grab my monoject to irrigate the food out of the socket. That way the medicine is fully kicking in by then.
My worry is that it seems like I can never get all the particles out, there's always a little bit that doesn't want to lift out and clings to the interior. It waves around and looks like if I just irrigated harder it would flush out, but I don't want to be too aggressive on such a sensitive area. The roots still have clots in the bottoms of them and I'd hate to dislodge them. There's some exposed bone between the roots and I think that's what's causing the discomfort.
For clarification, it's a lower first molar and the clot never formed properly and was almost completely gone by the third day. Everytime I would eat anything there was a little less there when I went to irrigate.
For irrigation and mouth rinsing, I bought a 12 pack of 12 oz bottled water and use 1 - 1 1/2 tsp of fine table salt to create a clean saline rinse solution.
Like I said, the pain is manageable. I'm just concerned about the residual food particles that don't want to come out. I may try using a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide to water.
I found this video very helpful. It made me feel better to know that it will heal on it's own.
The body is very good at healing. It sounds like your approach is reasonable. In time things will improve. All the best!
Thank you doctor, appreciate you for your valuable time.
Thank you so much! My procedure was so scary bc i woke up to them breaking my teeth and they even cut my lip with how rough they were getting it out, no wonder I'm in all this pain. Between that and the root they left (there was a reason) ive been miserable. Im calling a surgeon today but this is so helpful for me to understand what's going on!
I had six, teeth taken out all at once, on the 18th my pain is so bad I always thought, going to dentist gets you out of pain not to be in more 😂
y’all went to sleep … i was fully awake felt the drilling and cracking 😓
@@wesleygarcia3363 They told me I was going to sleep in the consultation, then day of said "oh wait, no, just going to make you feel sleepy so you don't remember". Apparently they didn't read my chart either so I was wide awake the whole time due to resistance from previous surgeries. Thank god the numbing agent worked.
Thanks for this information i just had tooth extract an left with days of pains
Nice explanation thank you. I had 4 teeth taken out and one of them developed dry socket. I’m hoping I’m already well into the 7-10 day healing process..
This pain triumphs natural child birth, every time I went to clean out the socket to relieve the pain, my entire body would start pouring sweat and my heart would even hurt. Pain meds didn’t even touch this shit.
Sweet six pound baby jesus...please protect me from suffering the dry socket wrath again. Holy crap..the worst pain ever.
Im sorry for your pain. Please dont blaspheme Jesus’s name though. Thanks.
@@davids5980 lol
Having dry socket right now, because of part of blood clot washed away a week ago. I took painkillers containing Diplofenak Epolamin three times each day and was rinsing my mouth with Baking soda mixed in warm water after eating and before sleeping. Baking soda and water mixture was especially good to ease the swelling and pain. Today is the first day that my pain is easing after a week and I did not take any painkillers.
Glad to hear that you're recovering! All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia thank you :)
I got dry socket after my wisdom tooth extraction, went back to the oral surgeon she only gave my some oral painkiller (not sure what it is, but it tasted really stingy in my throat). She said it should kill the pain for couple days, but later at night I can feel the pain coming back. Two days later I came back, and again she gave me the same thing. Also didn't last for more than couple hours. The surgeon insisted that nothing else she can do to help. She said I could be clenching on my sleep (I did not even sleep when the pain was coming back). What should I do? How come the surgeon did not give any treatment like in this video?
Also, it has been 10 days, I did not see any improvement, and it is still painful as hell. Please help me T_T
Great video. Thank you so much. I am healing from dry socket right now. I am about 5 days in from my surgery and the pain is slowly wearing off. I was considering asking the dentist for treatment, but you're video helped encourage me to wait and allow my clot to form instead
If ur 5 days in your clot should have already formed.it happens on the first day.
But ur not alone in the pain dept.
Good luck
My dentist had to drill on my jaw bone to get my tooth out for whatever reason and now even though I can't see a hole or a socket I feel like I have a dry socket. It was a week ago yesterday so this is the 8th day. Didn't feel the pain till about the 6th day. Rinsing with salt water and taking motrin . Hoping this will go away soon without having to go back and have him cut me open again.
This is exactly what is happening to me after my tooth extraction thanks for d great advice
I had a tooth removal on 29. They did a full extraction pulpectomy with bonegraft. Now I did use a straw throughout sipping liquids for the first three days and then salt water rinse between day two and day four, but I didn’t spit hard. But I did notice that when they did the procedure they did kind of forcefully push down on the jaw Back-and-forth trying to get to 29 out. Day four I had to go back I was experiencing some catastrophic pain. It was no bleeding or anything like that but when I did go in, they did find out that I did have a dry socket so he filled it with some type of gel and come to find out it was alveogyl
And the pain has went down, but I was advised to remain on the restrictions of only eating liquid food for the next 24 hours. Having a dry socket sucks!!
Is there anything that a patient can do if they end up receiving a second dry socket during the process and how to properly care for that tooth at home if it say on a weekend and no dentist offices are open ?
This was so helpful. Thank you!

I had my molar taken out a week ago. 3 days after the tooth was pulled out, i started to have really bad pain. Went to the dentist, found out it was dry socket. They cleaned it and put some medication in. I went back yesterday because it had fallen out and was in pain again. They cleaned it and put more medication in it. Question is, im in so much pain today and its been 5 days it all started and it isnt getting any better. I cant sleep, its driving me insaine! When will the pain get better? Should i go back to the dentist?
You should experience a bit of relief at the time that they place the medication. It's not uncommon for a dry socket to last for several days. I've had a couple times where it went on for 7-10 days (not the norm). I would keep in touch with your dentist and they'll advise what is best. Often I prescribe pain medication for patients so that they can tolerate the discomfort. All the best!
How long until u got better ? I’m feeling the same I feel as it’s not healing
I smoke 6 cigarettes a day and after pulling my tooth I smoked 2. But your video gave me relieved about smoking not causing any damage to clot but avoiding is good in case.
I removed my tooth on Monday last week. My dentist didn't even tell me about the dry socket and I have it, it's hell and makes me regret removing it. Ill be going back to the hospital tommorow 😢
Thank you so much for the information
I got my tooth pulled on Monday and its Saturday waking up each day thinking it would get better being woken up by a pain I thought it was effected I was going to go to the ER I will try this but without the packing gaze .
I been using Advil and its been helping manage my pain but I was worried because I was thinking as the days pass it would get better but I was still feeling pain thanks again for this video ❤
How did it go
@@joyce271he died to the pain
I developed two dry sockets and my dentist/ oral surgeon told me to take 3 ibuprofen and one Tylenol every 4 hours. It’s been around a week since my wisdom tooth extraction ( all 4) and my dentist said he wouldn’t be able to do anything. I haven’t gotten my dry sockets cleaned or anything and I’m just wondering if I need to go to the dentist in order to make sure it heals? Or can I continue with my at home care and wait for it to heal on my own? I’m quite confused.
Dry sockets are self-resolving with enough time. What I tell patients is if you can manage your pain with Advil / Tylenol and you're functioning okay, continue with that approach as long as the pain is decreasing day by day. If the pain is too much for those basic meds, or if it's staying steady or increasing, it's best to visit the dentist so they can flush the sites and evaluate whether or not they could benefit from a dressing of some kind. Hope that helps! I wish you well!
My dry socket was impacted by my dentist over two weeks ago, im still not healing, my gums are red and inflamed, im having still so much pain, i took my antibiotics and did everything the dentist told me to do and its not getting better, i dont understand why? I called.back her office they tolld me to keep rinsing with the salt water and hopefully it will get better soon, but its not, the oain now goes all around my front face and ear and back of my neck i dont know what to do 😢
I wish my dentist was like this and explaine everything. He just grabs his tools and starts working on it. After that I can't even talk.
I just pulled my back tooth out like ten minutes ago. I'm in the wrong place. 😭😭😭😂😂😂 I'm going to the dentist when they open
okey
@@noodles0101 okay
I got impacted wisdom teeth how long will it take to heal? Also I have slight throbbing but not extreme pain. It's been two weeks now.
It can take many weeks for healing. Generally after about 6 weeks significant healing has taken place. Make sure to keep in touch with your dentist / surgeon should your symptoms get worse. All the best!
One of the receptionist told me to put Clove oil on the dry socket. It does take some of the pain out but this condition is just flat out miserable! It works a little tho which is better than nothing!
I got my wisdom teeth removed 4 days ago, should I flush out the hole, it wasn’t stitched closed or just leave it, I tried flashing a light to see if I got rice or anytbiny in it but don’t see anything
This is some real details thanks alot
Thank you for this info! I just had all lower teeth, and an upper wisdom and molar, extracted today. So, I'm bracing for dry socket(s).
I have a question: Someone in the comments below suggested putting Clove Oil on a cotton ball or gauze. Do you think doing so might help??
I would refrain from doing anything prior to experiencing the symptoms and / or diagnosis of dry socket. Placing anything foreign in the site while healing will only compromise the site further. I assume you're asking if this would help IF you got a dry socket...Clove oil from what I've been told by patients seems to help for some pains in the mouth, but I really can't give you a solid answer on that other than just anecdotal evidence. All the best in your recovery!
I ended up with dry socket because my immune system is wrecked from months of chemotherapy and even though my dentist has done everything to ensure that I clot and heal, here I am in agony and hoping this treatment can be done tomorrow when I see my dentist again. I thought that after enduring the horrors of having breast cancer, that there would be no more pain. I hope it improves soon. The disgusting taste the socket excretes periodically is an added horror to the blinding pain.
Why did you have to remove your teeth?
The taste is wretched
How can you tell the patient does not have infection? I have dry socket but swelling in the face and gums
This is very interesting video, I got a very difficult extraction on my superior wisdom last Monday today is a Days 7 I’m still in pain, I am taking antibiotics plus ibuprofen to reduce the pain, I went back to my dentist 2 days ago cause I was worried he said I have to keep taking the medication until the dry socket can healed, im very anxious and don’t know how long I will get better
how is it doing now?
how are you feeling since?
same here how are you feeling
Guys, he's dead. Dry socket and the pain accompanying it killed him.
Dentist has to use A LOT of force to get my tooth out. It popped out into the air and fell on my face. I definitely have dry socket.
Same here!
Hey. I think I had a dry socket for about six months now I'm a smoker if I stop and think it will go away and can you please give me some advice about curing this is driving me crazy
John - a socket that has been exposed / sore for that long should be assessed by your provider as that's not a normal timeframe for healing. All the best!
Dealing with dry socket now. Oddly in my experience it was just a dull ache that radiated to my ear but it isn't severe pain. The dentist packed the socket which hurt at first but felt better over time.
Im on day 7 post surgery and just went to see my dentist for a follow up. The lady told me i have to start irrigating the bottom two wisdom tooth sockets. ( i had all 4 removed but she says that gravity will keep stuff out of my top sockets) When she did, lots of stuff came out of my left socket, but then quite a bit of blood came out of my right. My mouth is a tad sore coming home and i was just wondering could she have removed my blood clot? Is bleeding normal 7 days post op?
This is pretty standard and it's a good idea to follow her recommendation. If food/debris gets entrapped in the lower sockets, you can sometimes get a delayed infection that comes on 4-6 weeks after you have the teeth removed. The uppers typically don't need to be irrigated. The sites can be a bit inflamed and keep in mind they are healing so yes a bit of bleeding would be normal and is often seen when rinsing them out. The clot should be established very quickly (first 24-48 hours) so at this point in time you should not be too concerned about that. All the best...it eventually gets better!
@@OnlineExodontia how hard is it lose a clot after 7 days
@@timothymills8047 I wouldn't be concerned. You'd have to really work at it (like physically dig into the socket to open it again). By that time, things are starting to heal and the new tissue will certainly be weaker at the beginning until it matures, but you wouldn't lose the clot.
@@OnlineExodontia can i finally smoke my blunt. My anxiety been kicking my ass
@@timothymills8047 haha this is sucha paranoid question and i totally get it cos im like that aswell 🤣🙈
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?
Not much you can do at this point Tom. Rinsing and spitting should be avoided as you have discovered, however, just because you did that doesn't mean that you will have dry socket. Time will tell and I would be will to bet that you'll be fine regardless unless you were very vigorous / aggressive with your rinsing. All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia Thanks for reply. I went to the dentist today. She had a look (for free) and said there was no problem.
So had my impacted wisdom teeth taken out, 3 days in I started experiencing horrible pain. Went back to my dentist he gave me pain meds etc.... Thing is I have not only excruciating pain but my jaw has locked up( cant open past maybe half an inch, meaning I cant really eat so now I cant take the pills cause i throw up everything I attempt to drink or eat.. throat is super sore and my mouth is constantly fillled with spit I can't swallow... Haven't eaten for two days will be returning to the dentist tomorrow. God I hope this ends soon .
You must eat of you want to get better. Without food, you will get worse.
I had an extraction 4wks ago and developed a dry socket through infection it was treated as in the video and I was pres antibiotics. The socket is healing very slowly there is swelling and redness in the jaw below. I have been told the bone is infected will this resolve itself eventually? I am still in pain. Any advice would be really appreciated
This does not sound normal 4wks out from the extraction and it would be best to have someone take a look if you’re concerned. All the best!
The guy had to apply a lot of force.. he even gave up the first time i went.. he eventually gave up the second time.. drilled the tooth in half and took it out in parts.. now i have bad dry socket..
Sorry to hear that! These things eventually do get better so I wish you all the best!
Thank you for your clear and informative video 🙂
So I'm on day 2, and I have unknowingly done all the things I shouldn't have : used a straw (to drink soup), smoked (only about 5 a day) and ended up spitting the clot out whilst trying to sleep thinking it was a bit of food stuf in there.
Ive learnt I have dry socket with the symptoms of that foul saliva taste, smelly breath and swollen glands under my jaw and round my ear.
I've been running with salt water and have put a fresh gaunt in then ringed my mouth with mouth wash to prevent that taste seeping through - seems to do the trick... But would that infect / irritate the gum?
That shouldn't be a problem for the gum Ms Maglorie, but certainly if you start noticing more symptoms, follow-up with your dentist. All the best!
CDI wish i saw this video before i went for my surgery,my oral surgeon never explained anything to me .i had surgery last week monday few hours after teeth removal i start feeling pain i was spliting,using straw to drink smoothie and juice after 3 days ,i started experiencing survey pain in my ears and headache i went back to hospital,she removed the stichis and gave me antibiotics and urifen tables. During that night i was feeling my jaw, my skull bone headache and i had allergic reaction towards to medication she gave me .
How you doing I had a tooth pulled about 7 months ago and I still have a hole that feel like a dry socks can you tell me what I can do
That's too long to be having pain or a lack of healing and it's best that you see your provider to have them evaluate the area. All the best!
So helpful channel plz upload more videos
I've had dry socket through my own fault. The socket was bleeding after an extraction and in an attempt to stop it I packed it with gauze. When I pulled the gauze out it pulled the blood clot out with it. Its the worst pain I've ever had
No fun! All the best in your recovery!
fuck.. mmmh day 8 and the dentists fucked up again :') 2-3 hours sleep, late mornings and full nightmares, and withdrawals from cannabis and some from kratom at the same time, and having fibromyalgia in a severe degree and "ME"/CFS and 100+ other symptoms already before this for half my life.
I can tell you; without the love for this life, feeling the presence of "God"/Brahman/OurEssence, I'd end "myself"; this body :*)
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed almost 2 weeks ago, and i *think* i have dry socket? Its hard to see back there on my own, but whatever i do see, seems just like a gaping hole-- and while its not intense, there is *slight* pain-- but idk if im just being paranoid
Great video, very useful. First tooth extraction of top pre molar and yesterday The clot came away now I have a bad smell coming from the tooth but no pain other than general feelings of the tooth extraction. After being able to photograph it I’m noticing a white pus with smell in the socket so I can only imagine is infection :( any tips for self help while waiting for an appointment with my dentist??? Any home remedies or over-the-counter products for helping clean out the infection??
any tips ? or updates on what you did ?
@@THURZDAY_the pain killed him
THANK YOU! I’ve been in pain for over a week and my dentist won’t let me come to see them 😡. So I’ve been trying to try my dry socket on my own😭
Yikes, hopefully you're doing ok. All the best!
Im not sure the theory behind it. Ive have about 3 different tooth extractions. First 2 dentist said swap out guaze for the first day or so. After day 2 or 3 yoi can stop with the gauze. The last dentist was like you can remove the gauze 30 min after extraction. 100% if id followed my first 2. Used gauze for up to 3 days. Id be good. Tried the 30 minute thing and now this has been the worst extraction. I go tomorrow to see if its dry socket. Probably is. On both my sockets. Ive smoked and drank from a mini straw every time and been fine. Ive always done it with gauze tho. So i think its more important to keep it covered for the first 4 days. With a few hours uncovered each day. The smoking drys the socket up. Keep it covered. Until the clot is formed. Or youll be fucked.
I have one , the pain is in my ear + a foul taste in my mouth it’s horrible
It's no fun! All the best in your recovery!
I have white in my socket (cells or food) but it smells foul and breathing tastes gross if that makes sense? Is this dry socket
Dry socket is very painful. Advil for example won't make it improve at all. If you're not experiencing pain, it's likely that you just have impacted food in the socket and it may need to be flushed out. If you're concerned however, it's best to get in touch with your dentist. All the best to you in your recovery!
I was worried maybe I have dry socket but it sounds like I would definitely know I think I'm just worried about it lol
I bought this stuff called orca it’s for dry sockets and I cleaned it myself and packed it with the orca I couldn’t get to the dentist bc it was the weekend and that stuff saved me I swear
I was wanting to quit smoking cigars for a year. Week b4 I got molar chipped out I quit. 2 weeks after I wanted to smoke so bad month later still slowly don't crave it anymore. Straw I miss bc of my beard. I don't blow my nose anymore not spit I try not to sneeze. Do I miss my rotten broken tooh that gave me throbing migraines not able to eat jalapeños or rinse with listerean kinda miss it bc of the rince smoking I enjoyed it but needed to kick it. I forced myself to stop b4 the military. Anyways if I hadn't broke my ribs I would of gotten free dental & probably better in the military. Oh well. It is said 6 months fully heal. I got ways to go still. I do not enjoy not being able to blow my nose. Oddly I pick it more like finding gold nuggets
I’m pretty sure I just felt my clot slip out after trying to get a piece of stuck food.... I’m reading all these comments about the pain and I’m scared ;-;
Good luck then😂
Me too mine just came out 😔
