A member asked:

Is there a way to know if i have a dry socket after getting my wisdom teeth pulled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your history: The most common history is no pain after surgery followed by severe pain on the second or third day. The other signs are best evaluted by your dentist, so see your surgeon to rule it out if you have severe pain.
