2 days ago, I had teeth 10 &11 extracted. My dentist gave me bone grafts (Allograft) to preserve the ridge for implants. He also placed a membrane, which he said would help prevent dry socket. (I smoke & had dry socket twice). Yesterday I had almost no pain, but today Im in moderate-severe pain that isn't relieved by NSAIDs or opiates. The pain is mostly in the roof of my mouth. Is it possible to get dry socket with a membrane? Also my sinuses are burning and my face is VERY tender to the touch.
