A member asked:
I wake up in such agony. is this a normal symptom after getting your wisdom teeth out or do i have dry sockets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Without knowing how difficult your extractions were, one can't say whether your problem is normal. Pain is to be expected.. But for how long and how much depends on the severity of your surgery and your pain threshold. Call your surgeon for further guidance. It also may be a dry socket.
