Much like some other tooth removal surgery, you’re at risk for complications when having a wisdom tooth removed. Skills the dentist has and also the ability to follow instructions given are a few of the factors that can contribute to this. Post-surgical infections are more common in smokers than in non-smokers. Food and other debris can build up around the wisdom tooth site and allow severe ailment to take hold.

Some symptoms of a dry socket include recurring throbbing pain, a bad smell and a stiff jaw. The oral surgeon treats dry socket by irrigating the area to remove any trapped debris and then covering the open socket with a medicated dressing that contains a painkilling agent. Clove oil, a natural pain reliever, is often in the dressing that goes over your socket.

A wisdom tooth eruption can cause the patient a lot of pain as the tooth breaks through the gum tissue. The pain can be significant whenever a wisdom tooth is coming in on an angle and pushing against neighboring teeth. Whether or not you experience pain from your wisdom teeth, they can still cause problems somewhere along the line. Please bear in mind that although you could temporarily ease the pain with different remedies or medicine, this relief is just temporary.

It is unusual that you will get dry socket after a regular tooth removal; it affects about 2% of extraction cases. These chances can go up to 30% if you’re dealing with the removal of wisdom teeth. Specialists do not count dry socket as an infection so do not expect to get symptoms like redness, swelling or fever.
