A member asked:
When you get a dry socket, does it hurt as soon as the clot falls?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry Socket: It usually takes some time for the discomfort to set in, but there is not cut and dry rule, everyone is different. Just because what looks like a clot has come out, doesn't mean there still isn't some left inside the socket, enough to keep things ok.
