I think I have a dry socket guys The pain has been huge, I followed all the instructions from my doctor but I still think I got one.
The tooth right behind it feels really loose, unusually loose which is scaring me...
The jaw itself is pretty sore as well... I've tried to get a picture from a dry socket but couldn't find it...
It this doesn't get better untill tomorrow I'm considering going to an emergency appointment...

A friend of mine had a dry socket after having her wisdom teeth removed. Apparently is happens in one out of every so many patients. I would go have it looked at asap!

GO NOW!!
I had a dry socket when I had my wisdom teeth out & you should NOT wait till tomorrow-call your dentist NOW & let them know whats going. Don't suffer with this when they can fix it for you.
Hang in there!! this is just a small thing-not that other things are going to get bigger mind you but this is alllllll fixable, so MAKE THAT CALL!!

I had a microscopic dry socket after my extractions and it caused a fair amount of pain. I can't imagine what a full blown one must feel like. Call your dentist and have it looked at. Mine was small enough that it didn't need to be packed - she just gave me a prescription for pain killers and an antibiotic in case I needed them.
