Will Dry Socket Cause Any Problem?
My daughter, 21 years old, had all four wisdom teeth extracted a week ago and subsequently has been diagnosed with a dry socket in one of the extraction sights. We are booked to go abroad on Saturday and I would like confirmation that it is safe for her to fly. Many thanks.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the dry socket could be treated with a sedative dressing and irrigating with saline betadine solution before leaving to abroad. then take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and metronidazole combination. do saline gargling. maintain the oral hygiene properly. rinse your mouth soon after eating anything. i hope my answer will help you. take care
