Can you get a dry socket it you have stitches?
Yes. Dry socket results from the premature loss of the blood clot in the extraction site (socket). The clot can be lost due to many factors, including smoking, sipping through a straw, use of blood thinners such as aspirin or aspirin-type pain relievers, or sometimes menstration. Dry socket is not an uncommon complication, and it is usually easily treated by the doctor that performed the extraction. Treatment of this complication is included in the fee you paid for the extraction.
