A member asked:

I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago, thougt the pain has subsided there is a horrible almost unbearable taste in my mouth, should i be worried? h

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reevaluation: May be dry socket. But in any event, it's appropriate to call the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon who removed the tooth and report your symptoms. He/she may want to see you for a reevaluation or may want to prescribe medications. Please call now. It's part of the service you've already paid for.
