<p>My daughter is having her two bottoms out on July 31st (the oral surgeon said her upper two might not be ready for another couple of years). As with my older daughter, he wants a follow up visit two weeks after surgery. My older daughter had horrible dry sockets, and had a much longer recovery time. When I did some research on dry socket, there were some studies that suggest it’s more common in girls, and a correlation exists between its frequency and when in a girl’s menstrual cycle she gets the wisdom teeth removed.</p>
