Dry socket isnt very common, but certain things can put you at increased risk. Youre mostly at risk of dry socket during the first week after tooth extraction if you are a smoker smoking during the first few days post extraction. Smoking has been know to decrease blood supplies to the surgical site ; thus decrease healing.
While more research is needed, its estimated that less than 1 percent to 5 percent of people get dry socket after a routine tooth extraction. A dry socket is painful and has a foul smelling odor and it usually occurs 3-4 days after the tooth extraction when the socket failed to heal exposing the bone and nerve of the socket. If this happens, Dr. Hanah Pham will likely place a sedative dressing over the socket for a few days to protect it as a new clot forms.
Every case of dry socket is different. Only your dentist can tell youyour personal risk factors for dry socket. Only work with a highly-trained, experienced dentist such as Dr. Hanah Pham to ensure that you receive top quality dental treatments. To prevent dry socket, its very important that you follow Dr. Hanah Pham's instructions for recovery.
