Dry Socket is a common complication following tooth removal. Normally, a blood clot forms in the socket, this protects the socket as it heals and forms the foundation for new bone and soft tissue growth. A dry socket occurs when a blood clot fails to develop in the tooth socket, or if the blood clot becomes dislodged or disappears. This usually happens 3 to 5 days after the extraction procedure.
