What are the visual symptoms of dry socket?
by pulledmolar, Sep 24, 2009 02:45PM
I had a lower molar removed a little less than 48 hours ago. I still have some dull pain emanating from the extraction area, as well as some radial discomfort. It took quite a while for blood clots to form in the extraction area, so I was biting down on gauze for several hours two days ago. If the pain persists, are there visual symptoms of dry socket I should look for in the extraction area? How large would any holes be?
