A member asked:

Dry socket: Very often the pain from dry socket starts at approx. 48 hrs after you had the extraction. Dry socket is most common in females on birth control pills. Pain from dry socket is extreme. If treated, pain relief begins immediately.

Post-surgical pain: I would ask the Dentist or Oral Surgeon to review again.
