What is dry socket?In: Dental Health |
[Edit] |
It is a post-operative complication of tooth extraction. It occurs if the newly formed blood clot in the extraction site is prematurely lost or doesn't form correctly and hence there is a delay in the normal healing process.
To avoid this, do not smoke or use contraceptives (oral contraceptive extractions should be performed during days 23 through 28 of the tablet cycle), don't drink through a straw, dont spit or rinse too much, and maintain good oral hygiene and keep the area clean with a soft tooth brush. Return to your dentist if you have a bad taste or smell in your mouth.
I think that's about it. Hope it helps. :)
