Hi I finally had my tooth out yesterday after a long time with a nasty abscess. I'm proud of myself and still slightly surprised at how easy and painless it was.
I'm feeling rather lucky as I am only slightly tender but otherwise perfectly fine ?
The problem is now I am paranoid about dry socket. I'm scared to eat and turn my head to the side to drink, I was told by my dentist to start salt rinses today but I'm worried that swishing the water will loosen the clot.
How long before I can stop worrying about dry socket?
What kind of foods are advisable?
Is it safe to spit (when brushing teeth) now that it's been 24hrs since it was extracted?
Sorry if these questions seem silly I'm just really paranoid.
Thanks in advance xx
