Dry socket is more likely to occur following a difficult tooth extraction. It is thought that excessive force applied to the tooth, or excessive movement of the tooth burnishes the bony walls of the socket and crushes blood vessels, impairing the repair process.
The socket is the hole in the mouth left from the extraction of the tooth. It is typically protected by a clot that prevents the nerve from exposure to air and elements. According to the Mayo Clinic, dry socket occurs when the clot is dislodged before the extraction site has had a chance to heal. Once the clot is gone, the nerve is exposed to everything from the air you breathe to the food you eat, which can be extremely painful.
