  • How to prevent a dry socket, answered by Dr. Mark Burhenne. Read more at askthedentist.com/how-to-heal-... You'd be amazed at how little it takes to get a dry socket after a wisdom teeth extraction. For three or four days after the extraction, don't brush the extraction site or move quickly, do exercise, sit up too quickly, play frisbee, anything physical, etc.

    Baffled that no dentists in real life tell you this! They’re advising to rinse the mouth 24 hrs post extraction which is a recipe for disaster

    At the end of the day, I think the most important thing you can do is just follow your dentist or surgeon's instructions. Every case is different. I was told to begin salt water rinses 24 hours following my extraction. However, I suspect that given my particular complications (partial bony impaction and acute infection on 38, soft tissue impaction and chronic infection on 48,) my surgeon probably used synthetic bone grafts (I had sutures). Thus, the risk of dry socket was already minimal and the priority was on eliminating and preventing infection.

    I ended up with dry socket after having an extraction 2 months ago. My tooth broke and they had to cut to remove the roots. My roots are very long and are in my sinus cavity. I did not have the terrible pain that people with dry socket complain of. I went back to dentist because of some pain and discomfort, nothing major. He checked it, announced I had dry socket and prescribed antibiotics and pain meds. I had to go back twice. Since then, I have had several bone shards and the extraction site is still open. The tooth was an upper first molar (I think). I just wonder why it won't heal.

    is it possible to develop a dry socket 2 weeks after the extraction..? I've been fine all these days but now I suddenly have mild to moderate local pain as well as slight soreness on the corresponding side of my throat ..but no local or systemic signs of infection. I can't see an open socket there with my little mirror ..seems like there's tissue there but I wasn't able to see it fully since I don't have a dental mirror

    When i was eating some cake today (only been 12 hours since 4 wisdom teeth extraction), i ended up with a white clump that wasn't very big and I thought that I could taste a little bit of blood. It didn't really bleed a lot, just enough that I could taste it. I'm really paranoid about the dry socket situation, esp. since I can't see my sockets since the lighting in my house is bad enough so that I can't see it in the mirror. What are the chances that I will get a dry socket? Should I be worried?

    Smoking after a Wisdom Tooth Extraction: "If it becomes dislodged at any point, it can be very painful and lead to infection.
    Besides the risk of dry socket, smoking also increases your risk of developing bacteria in your mouth that will attack your gums and weaken your body’s healing ability."
    Question on the above, In addition to weaken the body's healing ability what other issues can arise? Can this ever be resolved and how?

  • @Outland9000
    @Outland9000 8 років тому +2

    So what if its the upper tooth that's been removed... gravity is going to be against it all the way... also eating? Im a weightlifter so I eat ALOT. Surely eating is a sure fire way to loose the clot?

    I just had 28 teeth removed Monday, July 11th it's now Friday and my surgeon said no smoking for a month obviously being a smoker I am having a problem with that. I waited 3days before even attempting to smoke am I okay? I believe I am height correctly I have blood clots I stayed elevated for 3/4days..laid back took it easy also I have some stitches.. I have stuff around them which looks yellow but from what I've looked up online it's not infection or dry socket it doesn't hurt or bother me at all just a concern of what it may be I heard it was just to do with the stitch? Hope to hear from ya I have no where else to turn.

    man its almost impossible to do what they tell you when you have a labor intensive job, my blood clot came out while eating no matter how hard i tried it still popped rite out, currently im about 5 days in since having my tooth pulled and im not really experiencing any pain like people say you will if you get a dry socket but i know its definatly a dry socket, i havent went to a dentist yet because i have to work i might go see my dentist on my days off if i do start experiencing pain as for now i have been using clove oil on small cotton pellets and i pack that into the hole because i heard thats what the dentist basically does anyway

    • @psyfertech
      @psyfertech 9 років тому +1

      ***** that's a little different than what happened with mine but it sounds normal I would suggest getting a small mirror and looking in your mouth if it's a dark red mass then it's a blood clot
      From what I've been told the best thing to do is leave it alone but if it is big enough to cover other teeth u might want to pull it out I had a couple like that it was gross
      If u pull it out it Will probably bleed again but this time put the gauze in and bite down kinda tight for 30 minutes or so to stop the bleeding and keep the clot small
      I'm pretty sure my blood clot came out but luckily I don't have a dry socket since I feel no pain there

    • @psyfertech
      @psyfertech 9 років тому

      ***** oh yea and when I say bite down tight I mean keep pressure on it but not so much u hurt your gums
      Don't keep taking the gauze out just leave em in until u stop seeing blood oozing from the gauze
      That's what I did with the inscission my dentist made to drain my abscess it was a deep cut and kept bleeding so I left the gauze in all day and kept pressure on it and it stopped

      Jd Miles2 Dentists have different rules on what to do based on what they were taught. My dentist wanted to do a root canal and crown my tooth instead of taking it out. Unfortunately the root canal failed and i had to have it removed. But I digress, it's usually best to just follow what your dentist has said to be safe.
