My extracted wisdom teeth are worrying me..?!
Question: My extracted wisdom teeth are worrying me..?
Well the bottom left one is. I got them taken out on Monday, its now Saturday. It seems that a white piece is growing around where I got my tooth killed. This isn't happening to the other three, though. I am very worried. I doesn't hurt but feels like raw skin. My mouth also feels achy. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Answers:
Sounds like you may have what they call a dry socket. Meaning a blood clot did not form in "hole" to allow healing. It can be extremely painful (that is why it feels achy). Call your dentist and tell him how it looks and feels. Moat likely they will pack material into it to allow healing. It heals extremely slow and can get worse if not treated. Good luck. Ps:they wil most likely give you antibiotics and pain relief meds to help.
I have had a lot of dental work and many dry sockets.
