What is a Dry Socket? 🦷
A common post-extraction complication — and very painful. It occurs when the protective blood clot is lost too early, exposing underlying bone and nerves. This can delay healing and cause intense pain, bad breath, and an unpleasant taste.

👉 Read above for the full list of do’s & don’ts to protect your extraction site and heal properly.

✨How to Reduce Swelling After Wisdom Teeth Removal✨
Healing starts with great after-care! Here are simple, effective tips to help keep swelling down and support a smooth recovery: ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🧊 Use Cold Compresses (First 24–48 Hours)
- Apply ice packs to the cheek for 15–20 minutes on, 15–20 minutes off. -This reduces inflammation and eases discomfort!
🛏 Keep Your Head Elevated
- Sleep with 1–2 extra pillows
-Staying elevated helps prevent fluid from pooling in the face
💊 Take Anti-Inflammatory Medications
-Follow your surgeon’s instructions and take prescribed or approved OTC medications
- Helps control swelling before it gets worse
🚫 Avoid Straws & Suction
- No straws, spitting, or va**ng
- Suction can dislodge the blood clot and increase swelling or cause dry socket.
