 [ Symptoms ] do i have dry sockets  i had all 4 impacted wisdom teeth taken out surgically on 12612 today is 121212 the first few days i did not really have that much pain i was on oxycodone ibuprofen and antibiotics  today i have severe pain that is radiation through my jaw it is not getting any better and the only thing that makes the pain subside is the oxycodone  i have a really bad taste in my mouth and when i looked at the extraction site with a flash light i can see bottomless black holes  the pain is getting worse [ Disease ] it is certainly possible you have dry sockets however the fact you see black holes seems to indicate you have intact blood clots on the other hand the bad taste you describe is consistent with a dry socket however having such severe pain 6 days after wisdom tooth extraction seems unusual i would suggest you call your dentist to find out if this is normal he or she may work you in with an appointment to take a peek and make sure you are not having any complications feel better soon
