Hi
Thanks for writing in.
Wisdom tooth extraction is complicated surgical procedure & there is some swelling post extraction.If your dentist has checked it & he diagnosed it as dry socket then go for alveogyl dressing.
Do warm saline rinses.
Complete your course of medication.
Take Rest.
Visit you dentist for check-up.
