Worried about dry socket

5 replies

Hello

I had my 2nd upper molar extracted 5 days ago and i am still worried about a dry socket. Am i out of the woods yet?

Also can i go about my normal activities yet and would having intercourse be ok.

I cant see the hole as it is too far back and got the teeth in front blocking the view of the hole. I am not in any pain and dont want to touch it with my tongue in case i do more damage.

I am doing salt rinses 4 times daily.

I am back for a check up on tuesday.

Thanks in advance for replies

in my experience a dry socket usually happened on day 3 or 4 and it is agony . Yes you can resume normal activitys from 24 hours afterwards 48 hrs if sedation was used.

When I had it the pain gradually got worse and it was fucking agony by five days. I think you're in the clear.

I think you would have known about it by now.

Intercourse? I don't really want to curious about which part of your body you use for that if you're worried after getting a tooth out. Wink
