A member asked:
Flying with a dry socket does it cause any harm or make it worse , also will it ever heal as it has been 6 days ,please advice !!! :(?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry socket: Flying with a dry socket should have no effect, either way. Most dry sockets heal even without treatment, unless of course it is or does become infected. This is not something that you can determine on your own. I suggest you see a dentist to confirm that there is no infection or other complication to healing. Why suffer? as dry sockets are easily & quickly remedied with proper treatment. See DDS!
