Just wondering about a dry socket. I had an upper molar tooth extracted six days ago. On the second day I woke up in really bad pain. Went back to dentist he said it was all ok just to keep rinsing. I had the worst smell out of my mouth he just said well you don t look I ll or like you lost any sleep. On the fourth day excruciating pain shooting up into my ear.
