Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2008Dry socket
I had an upper pre-molar extracted 6 days ago and despite great care, the blood clot had disappeared by the 2nd day, with the bone visible at the bottom of the socket. I understand there's not a great deal can be done about this issue but to treat with analgesic poltices or oil of cloves. Will the pain I'm getting from the osteitis continue until the gum has grown over the bone, if that's what the gum does ? Or will the inflammation subside without the gum growing over to cover the bone ? How long can I expect to continue enjoying my osteitis ? I'm a healthy, non-smoking guy in his mid-40's.

Thanks. Sounds about right - it's about half as painful as it was a week ago. If the bone remains exposed, will it be susceptible to other issues ? Looks like the gum's kinda collapsed onto the socket, leaving a small hole with bone visible. >> I had an upper pre-molar extracted 6 days ago and despite great >> care, the blood clot had disappeared by the 2nd day, with the bone [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> TIA >> Pain often lasts 1-2 weeks. > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >>> >>> TIA Severe pain within a few days after a tooth extraction Partial or total loss of the blood clot at the tooth extraction site, which you may notice as an empty-looking (dry) socket Visible bone in the socket Pain that radiates from the socket to your ear or eye on the same side of your face Bad breath or a foul odor coming from your mouth Unpleasant taste in your mouth Swollen lymph nodes around your jaw or neck Have it looked at and perhaps packed by the dentist. It is totally wrong for me to offer you advice without seeing the socket in person.
