What are the signs and symptoms of a dry socket?
A) The usual symptoms a person has after a tooth extraction.
With most tooth extractions, a dental patient will notice some level of discomfort (no matter how minor) at their extraction site on the day their tooth is removed. And then, with each day that passes, the discomfort becomes less and less noticeable as the healing process progresses.
B) What happens when a dry socket forms.
In those cases where a dry socket forms, the patient typically notices that their level of discomfort does progressively diminish for the first few days but then, between 2 and 5 days after their extraction, the pain from the extraction site begins to intensify.
While the initial timing of symptoms can vary, 95% of dry socket cases are noticed within the first week.
