Symptoms and signs of dry socket include severe pain following tooth extraction, gray-colored tissue around the site of extraction, or lack of a blood clot at the site of extraction. Dry socket symptoms generally occur within a few days of tooth extraction and are usually limited to the oral cavity. Oral symptoms of dry socket may come and go or may be continuous. These symptoms include: Bad breath or foul odor in the mouth. Bleeding from the site of extraction. Bone visible inside the site of extraction. Dental abscess. Gray or dead-looking tissue surrounding the extraction site. Pain at the extraction site.
Pain alone is not necessarily an indication that you have a dry socket. However, if you feel increased pain two days after the surgery in addition to other dry socket symptoms, your socket is probably dry. Look for these issues: 1  Exposed bone. 2  Look into your mouth at the surgical wound. 3  If you don't see a scab, and you do see exposed bone, you have a dry socket.
