I got my wisdom teeth out 6 days ago, i just got my period today. is there a possibility of my getting a dry socket because of that?

Unlikely: dry sockets occur because of disruption of clot and/or presence of infection in the ext site . Keep site clean and undisturbed.

Unlikley: Dry socket can be caused by smoking, poor oral hygiene or excess manipulation during extraction. Having your period has no influence on forming a dry socket. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
