    mine were removed a week ago and now my upper left socket feels as if its full of air. its squishy kinda. I thought it was just swollen but it feels like a balloon and its really big. It doesn’t hurt at all. its protruding out the outside side.

    Omg I have this now, it *****… I already had an infection in the area when they pulled my tooth out, and the doctor said that may have stopped the clot forming properly. I didn’t get a smell or anything just the pain, a temp and swelling in the area. They gave me penicillin and kick *** pain killers… has anyone else had this before?? It’s not nice hey! xx

    I’ve had several extractions and I smoke a lot. I smoked within 15 minutes of getting my teeth pulled everytime I’ve done it (4 times for all wisdom teeth). There’s never been a problem. But I’m careful not to “suck” to hard on the cigarette-that will pull out the blood clot in the hole, which will cause dry socket. I’ve never seen anyone have this problem, but I guess it does happen for some. Use caution.

    Just don’t fiddle with the extraction points and you’ll be fine. Don’t rinse your mouth out with water, don’t eat REALLY hot foods and don’t touch them. Just keep the cotton balls in there until the bleeding stops.

    I had my two upper wisdom tooth extracted on wed. and yesteday (Monday) I was told that I have dry socket. It ***** because I sing in a band and I have a recording sessions scheduled on Sat. The dentist had told me the extraction wouldn’t be painful, not only was it painful, but now I have this. He said it was ok for me to sing. I can’t trust him. Does anybody know if it’s ok for me to sing, or that thing he put in my mouth in replacement of the blood clot is going to get dislodged…HELP!!!

    well your pretty much just asking to be in pain by smoking after having an extraction. like the other person said, smoking does dislodge the blood clot opening the wound back up thus making it very suceptible to bacteria entering and thus causing an infection otherwise known as dry socket. if you do experience dry socket (unpleasent oder comming from your mouth, unpleasent taste, pain that does not go away) go back to your dr. immediately so he can pack it. good luck.

    you arens supposed to smoke because when you close your lips on that cigaretts you are ******* and when you **** your clot comes out- also smokers tend to heal much slower

    So what your saying is that if u smoke your 100% gonna get a dry socket. I just got 2 lower teeth extracted about 16 hours ago and i smoked like 20mins b4 i seen this post lol am i ok as long as i can still see the clot on the hole?

    if you spit it then for sure youd increase your chances of getting a dry socket. dry socket is caused by disloging the blood clot by using straws, spitting smoking, drinking alcohol for the first couple days.. you should be fine to use a straw after about 2-3 days.. so if you had it extr. today mon or tues should be ok to use a straw. and you will know if you have dry socket because it will be EXTREMELY painful, there will be a bad taste in your mouth and a very unpleasent odor as well.good luck

    take what you normall take for pain killers and you wont experience to much post pain. post extraction differ’s from person to person. depends on your pain tollerance. if you stick to the pain killers you should be fine. it actually helps to take the pain killers around 3 hours prior to the extraction so they are already in your system before the extraction happens. no eating yogurt does not increase your risk of having a dry socket.. and how would you get rid of your saliva? lol spit it?

    Hey, I just got mine pulled today.
    When your under the anesthetic you really feel nothing. I took Valium before it and some kind of pill to relieve nausea. When i was conscious again I really don’t remember much about getting up and leaving. It kind of seemed like a dream. My surgery started at 9:30 and by around 2 or 3 the bleeding stopped. I’m taking a Vicodin and so far the pain isn’t really all the bad except when you eat, but stick to softer things like pudding and noodles. You’ll be fine.

    hey guys. I’m getting 2 of my wisdom teeth pulled on Saturday so I just have like a few questions (I’m just really nervous)

    > Im getting it under local anesthetic so I was wondering how much pain is there to expect (I TERRIFIED of needles)
    > Is post-extraction really as painful as people say it is
    > Does eating yogurt or swallowing your saliva or stuff like that increase the chances of having dry socket
    > and last, how much time does it take for it to heal? Months? Weeks?

    Thanks. =)

    Good video. I have a dry socket now. I dont smoke, didn’t use a straw and still got it the third day after! It hurts SO bad! It is worse than the first day after extraction! The throbbing pain increased dramatically! It woke me out of a sleep at 530 am just throbbing. Went to the dentist and he said I have dry socket. The oil of cloves packed in helped a lot. it decreased the intensity of the pain so it’s bearable. Try it !

    Had a wisdom growing horzontal in which they had to cut into bone to extract about 2 weeks ago. every time i drink something cold it would ache sooo bad and shot up into my head and i get a huge migrain! Post checkup shows dry socket and the dentist probed and pocked to make it bleed again….may as well took a slug to the head! owch lol Pray the blood clots and the hole heals shut….and don’t spit!

    You get a dry socket mostly from spitting or causing a vacuum in your mouth (straw etc) after an extraction. Also from smoking. It is not an infection, but a localized necrosis of the bone. It is treated with a eugenol paste placed into the socket. Antibiotics are not needed
