Call Surgeon: Call the dentist who extracted your tooth. They are trained to treat the dry socket if that is what you have.

See your dentist: The dry socket occurs exclusively following a dental extraction. Dry socket has two simple signs: 1 aching, throbbing pain in the gum or jaw. 2. Horibble taste and smell in your mouth. If this is the case, see your dentist/surgeon for dry socket treatment.
