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.
Once the blood clot becomes dislodged, there are many ways that dry sockets can develop. Both drinking from a straw and smoking can create suction that can cause the clot to become dislodged. The main cause of the development of dry sockets is food or other debris becoming lodged in the place of the blood clot.
