I just had my lower molar extracted, with the oral surgeon's using IV sedation, for yet another dental implant. This is my fourth...(too many Dr. Peppers). I've never had any appreciable pain after the procedure before.
Today is day four and I still have some pain if I don't take the pain meds (5mg Percocet), although the pain is not excruciating.
Is THIS a "dry socket"? If so, what does the oral surgeon DO about it?
Thanks, guys.
