I had a dry socket and it didn't hurt at all, just stank to high heaven. Went back to the dentist and he packed it all was fine.
I removed the packing a couple days later by myself.

You spend a lot of your life in fear. Relax a bit. Enjoy things a bit more without assuming everything is going to kill you.

Someone's a hypochondriac.

I've never heard or seen anyone bitch about dry socket until I came to ATOT. Stop being such a pussy.

I still don't know what dry socket is. I had 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed (they couldn't be pulled with pliers) and nobody said anything about dry socket. They gave me a bottle of some special mouth wash and a syringe needle with a curved end. I didn't even need to take the pain killers because the guy did a good job and there was no pain.

Just get some hookers and blow to take your mind off of it.

I thought the OP was going to complain about vaginal dryness when I clicked on this...


....I wasn't far off.

Just get a bottle of Everclear and use it as a mouth rinse. Be sure to swallow for the analgesic effect of the Everclear.

Try it with hot 100. That cinnamon would probably hurt a lot, but it reminds you that you're still alive
