If the blood clot dries out or falls out, it can apparently lead to swelling and excruciating pain in the exposed bony bits. I have a vague recollection that it happens mostly to the lower wisdom teeth and moreso if the tooth was impacted (or, as that's why I had mine removed, it might just have been the dentist trying to scare me)

you do NOT want a dry socket! it is when the blood clot has formed at the incision/opening in your mouth and you manage to dislodge it. not fun

Dry Socket sounds Wundrefol! Luckily i had my top ones removed.

still numb, and no pain yet.

I did get 20 hydrocodone, though, in case i need them. that, plus a bottle of extra strength tylenol and a tube of maximum strength anbesol gel should get me through it.

The pain never really gets too bad. It'll hurt randomly a few days later after you go off pain killers. It's cleaning out the gunk from the empty sockets that's....blegh.

When I'd learned Geraldine Mcewan was retiring it made me sad but ten minutes in my first viewing of an episode with Margaret Rutherford I was sold. She's got such a warm smile!

Yeah, Unfortunately, I have a horribly sensitive gag reflex. This gauze is almost nauseous.

Do you have any at all then? My mom doesn't have them, and neither does my sister. Jerks!

yvanleterrible · 08-04-2009, 07:54 PM

Oh! No no no nooo...

I didn't want to hurt anybody, I just meant that since I don't have wisdom teeth I'm not wise ...

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-04-2009, 07:57 PM

I have three - the fourth impacted and was removed under local anaesthetic. Well, more correctly I suppose, under about 7 local anaesthetics, as my mouth refused to go numb (my tongue did, but only cos they managed to inject one lot straight into one of the tongue nerves). I had jaw ache for a while afterwards (it took longer than normal to get teh root out, and my mouth just doesn't open that wide naturally!), but nothing else. I did end up removing my own stitches though because they started to really annoy me!

:slappingthighsoutoflaughter:

Mine come out every four months or so, break the skin, hurt like *%&, then sink in again, which puzzles the dentists. I just don't want to know what it says about me!
