How to tell if i have dry sockets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry socket: A dry socket, which can occur in 2-4 days after an extraction, will be extremely painful. This is something you should not try to diagnose yourself, as there may be other problems causing pain. See your dentist or oral surgeon to be sure.
