Best Answer

you can get dry socket from drinking out of a straw, smoking,spiting or sucking like on ice cream or food off a spoon. When people do this continuously the blood clot will be removed and it will cause severe pain in the mouth. People usually have to be careful about this after a tooth extraction like wisdom teeth is most common.
