Category: Dental / Post-Extraction Complications
Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a painful dental condition that sometimes happens after you have a permanent adult tooth extracted, when the blood clot at the extraction site fails to develop or dislodges.
Occurs in approximately 1-5% of all tooth extractions, with a higher incidence (up to 30%) for wisdom tooth extractions (Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2017).
