“Do you feel dry socket immediately?”

Now, a dry socket can be formed if you lose the blood clot. Dry socket symptoms are severe persistent, throbbing pain within 2 to 4 days after the tooth extraction. The pain may extend to your ears or eye on the same side of the face. Can also develop bad breath, slight fever, and an unpleasant taste. If you develop dry socket, the pian wilt let you know that your wound is not protected. Swelling also is an indication you have lost the blood clot. Please, call the odontologist (Dentist) immediately to be seen and follow his recommendations. Thank you.

Usually not. It usually is a gradual process.

Usually you will feel the pain from a dry socket around day 3-5.
