A member asked:
Can you get dry sockets twice from wisdom teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but...: It's not really two dry sockets, it's more likely that the original dry socket you had just recurred after treatment. If you're still in pain, return to see the dentist or oral surgeon who treated you. It's possible it could be an infection, which may require additional treatment. Good luck!

Yes: Dry sockets are usually associated with the removal of teeth in the lower jaw. If you have more than one wisdom tooth removed, it is possible to have dry sockets with both wisdom teeth that are removed from the lower jaw.
