What are the signs and symptoms of dry socket?
Hi doctor,
Before eight hours, I got my wisdom tooth out. My mouth was filled with blood. Just 30 minutes ago, a small piece like a blood clot came out of my bottom right socket. When I look at my holes in the mirror, they are all filled with dark blood. Can I get a dry socket? Should I need to go back to my dentist now? What should I do? I am terrified of the pain.

I have a tooth at the very back bottom left side of my mouth that looks like it has grown into my cheek. When I move my cheek out the way it looks like there is an ulcer. It aches and I am struggling to brush my teeth properly. I also have come down with flu symptoms. I do not know if that is related to the tooth or separate.

Why the burning tongue sensation after root canal injection?
Hello doctor,
I had a root canal done. I was given an injection that kind of hurt. After that, I realized my tongue was numb but by the end of the day, it got better. When I woke up the next day, I had a tingling sensation but by the end, it changed from tingling to burning. I can bite my tongue and feel it but I only have some taste. When I touch it, it is a little numb. Can this be a nerve damage or something not so serious since I can feel my tongue?
