Hi doctor,
I have done a tooth extraction before three days. I am agitated that I may have a dry socket. On the third day, after the extraction, I have an increased pain on the extracted site.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If your pain is increased, it might be a dry socket. Use warm salt water gargle twice a day for a week or two to get some relief. Get some antibiotics and painkillers for a week. Do not touch the area with brush or hands or tongue. If the pain is increased, then consult your dentist soon for cleaning and debriding.
