I think i have dry socket - got wisdom teeth removed. what do i do?

Call your surgeon: They will take care of placing medicaments to speed up the healing process.

Avoid: If you have been smoking, spitting or drinking with a straw, try to avoid doing those things. If you have a bad taste in your mouth and persistent pain in the extraction site (usually in the lower jaw), your dentist or surgeon should see you to determine if you have a dry socket or not.
