How long will dry socket take to set in if I lose my blood clot?
I think I may have lost my blood clot from a recent tooth extraction. How long will it take for the symptoms (pain) of dry socket to set in?
Answer:
Dry socket does not occur just because you lose the clot. You need to lose the clot and get an infection inside the hole. The clot helps to stop the infection. If you lose the clot, the length of time can vary between a day or so and a week. Generally, you don't lose all the clot, and enough stays to see you through. Try and and rest and do nothing. Salt water - get warm water and dissolve lots of salt in the water will help you a lot. Don't swish it violently around to disturb the clot but it keeps the wound clean and free from infection, and helps promote the clot. Chances are you will be fine.
