Dry Socket Experiences.....when did you get them? How long after wisdom teeth removal? Stories....??
Question: I just want to hear the stories......thanks
Answers: Ok well i had all 4 of my wisdom teeth CUT out at one time. I smoke, but that is the easiest way to get dry sockets so i stayed away from the cigs for one entire week. (Actually I should have quit then) Anyway, I got one dry socket, and i started to notice it after 2 days with the teeth out. I went to the doctor and they stuffed a cotton something or another into the hole that was now there to keep me from gettinga full fledged dry socket. I was fine....
Dry sockets happen when you either smoke or drink from a straw. JUST DON'T DO IT!!!
My brother smoked from the moment he got home, got 4 dry sockets and was out of work for almost a month so it was awful for him and that is probably why I was so careful when I got my teeth out.
Just be careful....
just keep it moist and do the salt water rinse alot like the dentist says and you will be fine
i am a dental assistant and i told this young guy not to smoke after his extraction , he had told his girlfriend he quit, but of course while being deceitful he was having a cigatette and developed dry socket and had to fess up to his girl
A dry socket occurs when the clot is lost from the extraction site. Any # of things cause that, like sucking on a straw or a cig, eating/drinking too soon, etc.
Usually means more pain and longer healing time.
Leave gauze in place longer to help prevent losing clot, and be careful to avoid doing stuff that can dislodge clot.
PS. wait at least 24 hours before rinsing, and then only mild salt solution, and very, very gently.
Oh do I have a story...
OK,
#1. I was AWAKE with just Novocain... ALL 4 OUT AT THE SAME TIME!
#2 I came home and I couldnt close my mouth.. I was just crying with bloody gauze coming out of my mouth... yeah... sexy hu.
#3 My gum heeled to my cheek so the dentist decided to just CUT my cheek from my gum. No Novocain... nothing.
I should have sued.
