A member asked:
Just got my four wisdom teeth removed and the bottom two were impacted how long until i'm safe from dry socket and eating normally again ? no sutures.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry socket: A dry socket usually presents about two to three days after the extraction, with extreme pain when it wasn't that bad previously. By 4-5 days you should be pretty confident everything is healing well. Check with your own dentist if you have any questions.
