I had wisdom teeth removed may 17 just diagnosed w dbl ear infection do i have to worry about sockets getting infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry socket: There is no relationship between an ear infection and a getting a dry socket following a tooth extraction. Infections in the ear do not spread to your mouth. You should be fine from a dental standpoint.
