A A dry socket occurs when the blood clot in an extraction socket disintegrates and stops the natural healing process. It happens in about 5% of extractions.
Q Why does a dry socket form?
A Some things are known to damage the blood clot such as excessive rinsing out and smoking. Other dry sockets occur for no obvious reason.

Q What does it involve?
A The aim of the treatment is to relieve pain and enable the wound to heal.
Q What if I don’t have the treatment?
A The socket will eventually heal without treatment but will be very painful.
Q What about aftercare?
A The dressing placed in the socket usually dissolves away by itself.
