10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #2: Throbbing Pain
The bones in our mouths and elsewhere in our body are usually well tucked away behind flesh and skin. As such, we don’t usually feel them, but we will soon notice they are there when something goes wrong. One of the symptoms that help to give away a dry socket is the pain that the condition can cause.
Patients with a dry socket will often experience a throbbing pain in the jaw. At first it might just be mistaken as a symptom of having the tooth removed, which is known to be painful regardless. The pain will increase with severity, however, and it can end up being excruciating for the patient.
