ok so i'm researching this...

i do not have all the symptoms...all i have is pain

i think i MIGHT have it because when i tried chewing on something...food got into tho back of my mouth..and i went to grab it (rice) and wound up pulling out a piece of skin...it looked like a red gummy bear...i figured if it was loose, then it should come out...did the same thing on the other side...

"Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a dental condition that occurs when the blood clot at the site of a tooth extraction is dislodged, exposing underlying bone and nerves and causing increasing pain."

symptoms:
* Partial or total loss of the blood clot at the extraction site, which you may notice as an empty-looking (dry) socket
~is that what i removed out of my mouth?

* Visible bone in the socket
~think i can feel it with my tongue
* Pain that increases between one and three days after tooth extraction and that typically becomes severe and unrelenting
~i take advil, that helps
* Pain that radiates from the socket to your ear or eye on the same side of your face
~no
* Bad breath or a foul odor coming from your mouth
~no
* Unpleasant taste in your mouth
~no
* Swollen lymph nodes around your jaw or neck
~dunno

anyone have this...?

that sounds horrible, i'd go to the doctor/dentist tommorow

My wife's sister had it...no big deal. They plant you on more anti-biotics (no fucking, you WILL get pregnant) and massive pain meds. It heals up like any other tooth extraction.

Believe me, I live in Maine. We're experts on tooth extraction.

yep, that's dry socket. sounds like you pulled the clot out. go back soon.

aaron just came home and tells me i don't have it..only he can't come cose to me to look because he has pink eye

argh

why does it seem like every week there is a thread about wisdom teeth and dry sockets?

I smoked and drank after mine were pulled and mine were fine. Not that I suggest it.

wait, antibiotics rui condoms? yeah, no fucking for me any how. I knew once carina said something, she would look on line at the symptoms and then have it.
she doesn't have it, but she won't take the viccodin for some reason.

i got dry sockets. for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to eat dry ramen noodles the day after i had mine out... just another chapter of my retarded legacy

out of the 1-a-day diseases the internet has given you, so far, you have had none.

i'm not a Hypochondriac

I'm so sorry carina that you were right for the first time and you do have dry socket. I guess I will have to give you a Dry Socket medal.

hehe..actually nope

you were right


*hides*

just got off the phone with the dentist.

When I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled I got dry socket in one of my wounds after about 2 weeks. They gave me this clove-gauze-type installation in the hole (which tasted shitty like a clove cigarette) and left it in there for 2 weeks or so. Aside from the fact that my pizza eating craving was pushed back a few weeks, shit was smooth sailing from there.

dry socket sounds like a horrible female sexual problem.

Wait a second, you are telling me there are dentists in Maine? I find this highly improbable.

how do you think they keep their tooth?

i thought this was a vagina disease

the toothbrush was invented in Maine. anywhere else and it would have been a teethbrush. waka waka.
