A member asked:
When do i not have to worry about getting dry sockets after wisdom teeth surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After 72-96 hours: The pain typically starts about 2-3 days after the tooth was extracted. Other symptoms of dry socket include bad breath and an unpleasant smell. The most important thing you can do to prevent a dry socket is follow the post operative instructions by your surgeon.
