I think I am becoming paranoid about getting dry socket! I had the tooth out on Wednesday morning. It is still quite painful. It was a back tooth and looks like there is a clot there which is supposed to happen but I am worrying a bit about the pain. I know that I do have a low pain threshold anyway. Has any one else had a back tooth out and still been in pain 2 days later? I am trying to think back to the one I had out in hospital and I don't even think I could get a teaspoon in my mouth after 2 days so maybe this isn't so bad? I started taking antibiotics the day before I had the extraction to prevent infection and I am still taking them.
