Dry Socket: You may have dry socket. You'll need to go back to your dentist for follow up care. A medicinal paste will be placed on gauze and inserted into the wound. This will help with the pain and speed up the healing process.

Post-surgery: You have all the signs and symptoms of a dry socket. that happen when the blood clot washes out and bone becomes exposed to the oral bacteria. Return to the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that did your extractions. Post surgical care is part of the overall procedure. You will start feeling better immediately.
