I had my wisdom teeth taken out almost 4 years ago, and got two dry sockets. Yeah it sucks, but it's not anything to get freaked out about. Basically it prolongs the healing process, so you get creative with a blender (you can in fact have a cheeseburger...condiments work well as liquifiers) and while it probably means you'll be in pain longer, it's not bad, I'm a wimp and it wasn't too bad. The packings, are uncomfortable, and cause a dull throbbing that goes away within 15 minutes and then you don't notice them till you get them changed (and a tip I picked up is to take one of the pain meds they give you right before you go in, so it'll kick in and kill the pain)
