Hi dr. im 38yr. old female..had my top and bottom left wisdoms out 8 days ago. have to go tomorrow to get stiches out of bottom. am i clear from dry socket?

Dry socket: A dry socket occurring at 8 days out would be extremely rare. By now, the soft tissue has more than likely away completely healed over the sockets. You should be clear to pretty much do anything. Hope this eases your fears
