do i have dry socket/infection?
by xolilcutie68ox, Sep 27, 2009 03:38PM
Two days ago i had all four wisdom teeth pulled. (I had novocaine and i would like to mention none of my wisdom teeth were impacted). I noticed today when i look inside the bottom holes that i see some white debree inside the clot that has formed in both holes. I currently do not have any severe pain so i do not think it is dry socket but then again i heard it is too early for me to tell if that could be the case. Just wondering if my likelyhood for dry socket decreases since none of the teeth were impacted. Also just wondering if the white debree could be food and should i be worried?

doesnt sound like adry scoket to me .... just sounds like a mucosa film thats over the clot...thats a good thing....if you get a dry socket you will know it... they are pretty painful
