Re: Is this Dry Socket?

Seen my new dentist before, 2 appointments for fillings from end of
January.

She looked at the hole from the tooth I had out, and said its healing
well. She said I could still get Dry-Socket though, even though its day
9.

OK, sorry! My mum and dad both have them, and they never complain of
toothache.

Anyway, since the clover oil stuff came out yesterday, 24hrs ago, I've
had no pain whatsoever.
Its difficult to eat/drink because I can feel the hole, everytime I try
and swallow. Like its sucking my cheek if you know what I mean. But not
painful!

I got Amoxycillen, 250mg of my GP last night. And its now 8 days since
I got the tooth out - the hole is still massive, but its starting to go
soft.
Does this mean its healing and I never had or going to get Dry Socket?
Maybe the dentist just gave the clover oil tobacco just to shut me up,
I hope thats the case.

I looked at storys online, and some people say you arent safe from
Dry-Socket until 10-14 days after.

PS. Examination with a new dentist tomorrow! No more emergency-dentists
who cant wait to get rid of me.

False teeth = must be amazing to never get toothache.... Eat, drink,
whatever you want.....


That's what YOU think. Talk to some denture wearers, ask if they can
eat anything.
