Question for people who got their wisdom teeth taken out or have had dry sockets

Short version on bottom,

Maybe this question is more toward people who have had dry sockets, but anyway I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago at 8:30am. I'm not 100% sure but I think all 4 were compacted if that matters. Now Monday at around 2:30pm I think its ok to smoke cuz I was only in pain for the first day, besides pain from the swelling the next 2 days. All times are pacific standard time.

I smoked a bowl from my bong and nothing hurt. But after the second bowl I felt something weird, hard to explain but it was the blood clot and it came loose (the bottom I think) and I started bleeding. I immediately used the rinse I was prescribed and then bit down real hard on gauze for the next hour and a half laying down, after that it was done bleeding. The whole time I was worrying about getting a dry socket.

For people who have had dry sockets do you know right away if you got one? Is the pain intense right away or does it take a day or two? I read that when you get dry sockets itâ??s because you can't bleed anymore which leaves the bone exposed and it slowly dies, so would I have even known if I got a dry socket on the left side? How long does it take for the pain of a dry socket to set in? The whole time I was worrying about the right side because it was bleeding until I read dry sockets occur cuz you canâ??t bleed anymore to form a clot. I would really appreciate any responses.

Short version: I got my wisdom teeth pulled 3 days ago smoked 2 bowls out of my bong which loosened the blood clot on my right side (bottom I think). If you have a dry socket do you feel intense pain right away? It doesnâ??t really feel like the pain is where the wisdom tooth was but a tooth or 2 down from that. Does it sound like I could have formed a dry socket? All times are pacific standard time. main question, IS THE INTENSE PAIN RIGHT AWAY?

lol didn't you read the thread about how to avoid this exact thing from happening...

shame shame sir

nah man I didn't but my main question is if you do get a dry socket will it happen immediately after you take the hit? I haven't found this answer anywhere.

I had dry socket before, but I didn't know for sure what it was until the dentist told me. The pain is not really intense ( at least mine wasn't) but where the hole in my mouth should have been healed, a week later, it still hurt. The sensation is maybe a slight pulling feeling in the socket when I talked and stuff. It took maybe 3 weeks to heal completely. I did not know right away. Hell.... I was stoned. I was freakin clueless!:jointsmile:

This is the one I was talking about but if the guy had just used the search feature he would have gotten lots of results

I'd ask your dentist just to be sure. I havent had dry sockets, but I've heard stories

duuuude u did it all wrong ha ha ha u shouldent rinse ur mouth out with ANYTHING for the first 24 hours and smoke through ur nose no pressure in the mouth that way but just look through the boards next time the info is usually there already
