See your dentist: A dry socket is a painful but usually minor problem after wisdom tooth extraction. Usually successfully treated with packing of trhe socket. Take your birth control pills as you usually do.

See your surgeon: Dry socket is the most common complication following removal of wisdom teeth. See your surgeon for diagnosis and dry socket treatment. You should be fine taking your birth control pills.
