A member asked:
I had my wisdom teeth taken two weeks ago tomorrow. today i noticed i have a hole where my wisdom teeth were. i am experiencing no pain, but could it still be a dry socket? if it matters, i started eating regular solid foods about three days ago.

Holes: It's going to take time for the extraction sites to fill. If you had a dry socket you would probably have severe pain, foul odor, bad taste, malaise, fever. Absent this symptoms you probably do not have a dry socket. As post surgical care is part of your treatment, please contact your treating General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon for follow-up.
