A member asked:
Help please! is dry socket still possible if stitches were put in to close the empty sockets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post op pain: You may just be dealing with some aggressive post operative pain associated with the difficult extraction. Impacted teeth tend to require the removal of bone and require more healing time than erupted teeth. If its been over a week and there's still pain or more pain, contact your dental surgeon.
