Question by Stephen R: How long until you are safe from Dry-Socket and how long should it take the hole to heal?
Hello, I had a Top back tooth taken out on Boxing Day by an emergency dentist who couldnt wait to get rid of me.
When it was taken out it was still bleeding the next morning. I havent had any VERY-bad pain and when it does its usually over very quickly.
Although, when the tooth/hole hurts, everything around it hurts too(eye,ear,head).
There is still a big hole where it was taken out. There is a little piece of bone sticking out, and it kills when anything touches it.
I went to another emergency-dentist, and he cleaned it out and filled it with the clover-oil stuff, and it doesnt really hurt now. just occasionally
So my question is, tooth out Boxing Day – is it impossible to get a Dry Socket now?
I must’ve lost a load of weight since I got it out, I also reckon I’m healthier 30 ciggies a day to just 3 yesterday
The hole is so big its really putting me off drinking/eating, even on the other side. Drinking is worse cause I know how much it will hurt if it touches the bone
The hole also doesnt look or feel any different to when it was when it was taken out either!
