How do I know if I got a dry socket?

Home More advice Health

I had my lower two wisdom teeth removed a week ago today. I was good and still have not used any straws, or eaten anything that would cause a dry socket. I haven't been swollen for a few days, but today when I woke up the right side of my jaw had swelled immensly and it hurts. Did I accidentally give myself a dry socket?
