Q&A: I HAD A MOLAR EXTRACTION A FEW HOURS AGO AND HAD A FEW COUGHS JUST THEN. WILL I GET A DRY SOCKET?
Question by xmooth:
I had a molar extraction a few hours ago and had a handful of coughs just then. Will I get a dry socket?
I have study that coughing can induce dry socket. I had a couple of paranoid and am now extremely paranoid that the clot would dislodge.
What really should I do now?
I had the extraction around three hours ago, was coughing just a few minutes ago.

I had a molar taken out a whilst ago and I did not get a dry socket. I cannot do not forget if I coughed even though.
All I can recommend is: take in only fluids (water, soup etc) for the initial day Till the bleeding stops. Also rinse your mouth out with warm (Not hot!) salty water whenever you do intake any solids, till you feel that your socket has healed.
If you really feel paranoid about your socket, telephone your dentist.

DO NOT RINSE WITH WARM SALT WATER AT THIS TIME!
Not that this is incorrect, just not for the first 24 hours or so – can make the clot turn loose!
It shouldn’t! I have had all my molars extracted as nicely as now, all my upper teeth and implants screwed it – so I have been through a LOT of dental proceedures.
Just make positive you preserve the gauze in location, do not use straws or suck on something.
IF you use the guaze, make confident that you leave it in place with light pressure for at least an hour ahead of moving it or altering it. This helps it to clot and keeps you from ripping it open again.
If you are bleeding by way of far more than a guaze pad an hour, get in touch with your doctor.
