Do I have a dry socket, dry socket I m worried about whether I have a dry socket

I had my wisdom teeth extracted a few days ago, and I asked the same question as you, so I am more qualified for you, your situation is definitely not a dry socket, dry socket is a very serious complication after tooth extraction, from the 3rd to 4th day after the extraction, it is very painful, with the head and gums hurting, and taking ordinary painkillers can not be relieved at all, the wound will also emit a foul smell, the dry groove is very painful, you don't even need to eat painkillers, it is definitely not a dry groove.

Looking at my question a few days ago, my situation seems to be much more serious than yours, hehe, and it wasn't a dry groove in the end, so don't be nervous.

Is my condition a dry socket?

Excuse me, I extracted the wisdom tooth on the lower right side on the morning of December 16, because the wisdom tooth has rotted to the bone, the doctor scraped the bone and cut the surrounding tooth flesh a few times, on the afternoon of December 16, the anesthetic retreated and it hurt very much, but it was bearable, it got better on December 17, and I almost didn't feel the pain, but the pain began to appear on the afternoon of December 18, and it was similar to the pain of the wisdom tooth that was inflamed before, but it was bearable, and the pain began to be severe on the afternoon of December 19, but it got better from time to time, and sometimes it hurt very badly, I couldn't stand it and got better after taking painkillers. On December 20th, it began to hurt in the morning, severe pain in the afternoon, and took painkillers but it hurt again after 1 hour, and it got better after applying ice, what is going on with this kind of back-and-forth, is it a dry socket, how long does it hurt after the wisdom teeth are extracted, I really can't stand it Please advise experts or experienced friends, thank you.

Question addendum: My face is not swollen, my neck is not swollen, but the pain in the tooth hole is unbearable, I am anxious, I don't know whether I should go to the hospital or not.

No, your symptoms are normal. Because dry socket is a kind of intense pain, the kind that hurts the whole head. I've been there, and it's worse than dead. Congratulations.

There may be a dry socket You can eat some nail and Luo Hong should be alleviated.

Normal! Dry socket is generally manifested as persistent and severe pain in the wound from 2 to 3 days after surgery, and general analgesics cannot relieve pain; The gums around the wound are red and swollen, the halitosis is obvious, and the local lymph nodes are swollen and tender. If you do have dry socket symptoms after a few days, please return to the hospital for follow-up in time!!

Hello! It is easy to cause infection after wisdom teeth are extracted, but this one can't be casually seated, and you can't use a cotton swab to mess around, that one has not been sterilized, be careful of infection. If you're worried, it's best to go to the hospital for further examination, I read your description, it shouldn't be, the superficial thing is the organization that responds.

The main clinical manifestations of dry socket are:

1.Severe persistent pain occurs 3 to 4 days after the tooth extraction, and radiates to the ear and temporal, submandibular area, or the top of the head, and the pain can last for up to 10 days.

2.There is emptiness in the extraction socket, or there is a residual blood clot of decay and necrosis, such as a foul smell if the contents are dipped in a cotton ball.

3.The bone wall of the extraction socket is obviously tender, and the gums around the wound are slightly red and swollen.

4.Regional lymph nodes may be swollen and tender.

How to tell if it's a dry socket.

As the name suggests, dry socket is an empty tooth extraction socket, but the mechanism of occurrence is not clear. Compared with the rare cases in large and medium-sized cities, the patient's manifestation is unbearable severe pain of tooth extraction, and what the doctor needs to do is to completely scratch the tooth extraction wound under anesthesia and refill the tooth extraction wound with blood.

The most common cause is an infection at the extraction wound, which is medically known as "dry socket". Dry socket is caused by the fact that the blood clot in the wound is not formed after tooth extraction, or because the patient does not pay attention to the protection of the wound after tooth extraction, the blood clot that has formed in the wound is destroyed, so that the bacteria in the oral cavity enter the alveolar fossa, causing infection; or the remaining inflamed granulation tissue in the wound has not been removed; or there is too much protrusion of the bony tip in the wound; Rarely, it may also be that the tooth extraction is not disinfected strictly, resulting in bacterial infection of the tooth extraction wound. All of these conditions can cause the tooth extraction wound to not heal for a long time.

The most obvious symptom of dry socket is severe pain in the wound and a putrid stench in the mouth, and patients often come to the hospital because they cannot tolerate the pain. If you have dry socket, you should do it in time** to avoid causing osteomyelitis of the jaw. The ** of dry socket is mainly treated locally, using a curette to gently remove the necrotic tissue in the tooth socket, and then using a filler with antibiotics and clove oil to fill the socket, which can achieve pain relief, can also reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new granulation tissue.

In the case of dry socket, it is often necessary to irrigate the wound and change the dressing several times, and the patient should be patient. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the cleanliness of the oral cavity to promote early healing of the wound.
