I had mine out on June 21. I am a big baby but did well getting the IV started, I do not remember anything after the first poke. When I woke up I was still under the medication. My hubby brought me home and I slept all the rest of the day and night with my four boy's home and playing with video games in the same room I was in. 3 day's latter and I was in pain only on the bottom right side, I called the dentist up 2 more day's after that and they had me come back in to check. Here I got DRY SOCKET!!! They had to repack it and now after a total of 8 re packs, it is just starting to close up. I do not know why I got the dry socket I do not smoke and I did not drink from a straw at all! They think the clot dislodged when I changed the gauze.
I am in no way trying to scare you Like I said I did not feel a thing getting the IV started up and the first day I just slept. You should be aware that Dry socket can happen and if after the first few day's you are in pain still, call and get it checked out, don't think you are being a big baby like I did! |
