I've been worrying nonstop about getting dry sockets for about 3 days now. I analyze every little thing and every tiny ache or pain. I feel like I'm losing it.
I got my 2 lower wizzies removed 4 days /108 hours ago. I'm not a smoker, not on birth control, and am young.
My dentist said people usually get dry sockets between days 3-4, but most people online seem to get them on day 5 or even 6!
I don't really have a specific question, but.. how can I calm down a little? When can I assume I'm safe from dry sockets? Can anyone share their experiences?
 
I had mine later. One was packed and on I treated at home with some clove oil. I think if you get them later they don't hurt as bad. At least that's been my experience. It really wasn't that bad.
