In dental and with your teeth the first sign of a dry socket is pain that radiates to either one or both of your ears as well as swelling and pus or bad breath and you may have jaw pain or mouth pain.

If you suddenly have radiating pain that is radiating to either one of your ears or both of your ears then you likely have a dry socket.

If you do have a dry socket or think you have a dry socket you should see your dentist about it to have it checked out.

When you have a dry socket the first symptom is pain that can radiate to your ear or ears.

Having a dry socket can also cause swelling and pus or bad breath and you may have jaw pain or mouth pain.

It's best to go back to your dentist for them to fix the dry socket but sometimes the dry socket can heal on it's own.
