Dry socket may occur after tooth extraction. Dry socket is mainly caused by acute infection of the wound. After tooth extraction, dry socket may occur if the tooth extraction wound is large, oral hygiene is not in place, smoking or other infections in the mouth, oral contraceptives, etc. Dry socket disease is mainly caused by the blood in the alveolar socket does not coagulate in time, or the blood clot ruptures in advance. The blood clot has a certain sealing effect, which can prevent infection. When the blood clot ruptures, the alveolar bone and nerve will be exposed to the outside. once invaded by bacteria, it will cause inflammation and severe pain.
