dry socket
Post-pull jaw agony
Dry socket is a painful dental condition that occurs when the blood clot protecting the bone and nerves in a tooth extraction site dissolves or dislodges before healing is complete.
The exposed socket becomes inflamed and intensely painful, typically a few days after extraction: The dentist said my dry socket would need additional treatment.
Wisdom tooth removals are particularly susceptible.
