ORIGIN: In France, only members of the gentry were permitted to keep pigeons. In Colonial Louisiana pigeonniers were considered status symbols. Pigeonnier may be descendant of late medieval towers which ornamented. French castles and manor houses.
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.
An infection happens soon after the extraction, and causes swelling in the gum. A dry socket happens 3 to 5 days AFTER the extraction, and there is NO swelling. BUT BOTH OF THEM ARE PAINFUL! For a true infection, you will need antibiotics.
