DID I GET DRY SOCKET?! TW STITCHES

Question

I got my wisdom teeth out on Friday it is Sunday and I looked at my stitches and I see gray in the back as if it opened up and there’s no blood just gray and my dentist isn’t open today and I’m freaking out badly

Answer

Dry socket is super painful. It’s pretty hard to question. If you’re worried call your dentist in the morning.

Answer

Being on birth control doesn't cause any risk for wisdom tooth removal. You don't have dry socket. The only concern with birth control and wisdom tooth extraction is if you are given antibiotics because it will make you birth control not work

Answer

You’re fine. If you had dry socket you would know, it’s extraordinarily painful.

Answer

I got my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday and the next day came down with vomiting. I'm assuming this is what caused my dry socket on one side. The pain is INSANE! Throbbing and working it's way into my temple, close to my ear, close to my eye, I just want to die right now. Of course since I'm sick and waiting on COVID results, I can't be seen by the dentist. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me with advice right now. 😫

Answer

You would definitely know if you have a dry socket. The pin is unimaginable. The grey is probably a stitch or something. If you have no pain (other then normal what you’ve been having with the recovery pain) I wouldn’t worry.

Answer

I had dry socket on 2 of my wisdom teeth areas I had taken out. I was unable to lay on my face or eat. It was miserable. More than typical pain afterwards. I also didn’t take any pain medicine as I was breastfeeding and didn’t want to,
If you feel like this then probably!
