Dizziness
Those suffering from a dry socket will tell you that the pain can quickly jump from mild to excruciating within moments. The pain also has a habit of radiating around the face due to the exposed socket. The pain can get to the point where you start to feel symptoms of dizziness. This lightheadedness is a normal reaction to the pain, as it can be challenging to manage when the pain flares up to the point where it becomes hard to think. One way to help ease the potential for dizziness is to drink water. Keep in mind that cold water can cause a spike of pain, so ensure you keep the water at room temperature, so your dry socket isn’t irritated by the change in temperature.
Experiencing dizziness alongside pain can be stressful, but best-practice methods will help you overcome these symptoms. It’s also a good tip to contact your dentist if you’re feeling dizzy due to your dry socket. They might prescribe medication to help or have a few tips for home remedies you can try. While it might not be easy to manage a dry socket, you won’t have to deal with it for long.
