Sir I have extracted my wisdom teeth on 1 st february and my stich cut off on 8th february. But still then I feel mild pain. Sometime it became worse. Doctor said everything is fine and wound took to heal some time. But after 14 days I felt discomfort and because of that I went to a new dentist. He examed and said it was due to dry socket. He put a gauze and did a dressing and prescribed some medicine. Yesterday after 5 days I went to him for checkup. He said pain would be less in coming days. What should I do.

Hello sir, if dry socket has been clinically diagnosed for the pain ,and intrasocket dressing has been done, please b rest assured the socket will heal and pain will gradually decrease. So please go for subsequent dressings if you dentist has advised so. Take care.

dry socket is quite common after extraction , especially wisdom tooth as they are more complex and often have less space. this dressing will help with pain and healing all you have to do is take warm salt water rinses gently 3 to 4 times a day and keep the extraction site clean.
