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.
A dry socket can occur within three days after an extraction after a blood clot falls out of the socket. Without the blood clot present, the bone is exposed, which is extremely painful. A dry socket causes radiating pain up and down the face and pain upon drinking cold water or breathing in cold air. It is imperative to keep the blood clot in the socket until the bone has a chance to fill the socket and essentially heal. Without the blood clot, the socket will take longer to heal and it will be quite painful during that period of time. A dry socket is exposed bone â some of the worst pain there is.
