Would a dry socket cause pain in the jaw and up to the temple of your head?

If you see your dentist right away no. I know dry sockets are extremely painful and I had 4 when I had my wisdom teeth out. The dentist took out the stitches and packed something that smelled like cloves inside and stitched the gum again. All I can say it was a delightful relief from the terrible pain I suffered. He explained that sometimes when the tooth is pulled the thin membrane that protects the bone underneath comes off and air gets at it. Please see your dentist right away. For some patients taking bisphosphonates (Fosamax, etc.) drugs used to fight the effects of osteoporosis, there is an added risk associated with having a tooth extracted. A small percentage of these patients may experience a serious complication called osteonecrosis, wherein the bone of the jaw, rather than simply healing following the extraction, the bone begins to die. This requires the attention of a trained specialist, such as an oral surgeon. http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/182_08_180405/car10429_fm.html

∙ 12y agoYes! I have dry socket from a surgical molar extraction. 6 days after I woke up at 6 am vomiting profusely with a horrible headache all over. After 3 hours of it steadily getting worse I called my oral surgeon who brought me right in. I definitely had dry socket without an infection (already on antibiotics to prevent it) and was chilled and sweating profusely. They gave me IV fluids, pain and nausea meds. They also flushed it with an antibiotic flush and sent me home with orders to continuously flush 5x a day. I can not remember the last time I have felt that awful but the truly rough part didn't last too terribly long.

∙ 14y agoYes, it certainly could. If it's a top tooth, the nerve could shoot pain all over the place. You need to have it seen if this is the problem, cos it can go really nasty. (I had this many years ago). The bad taste is normal too... get back to the dentist ASAP.
