You will only get Aveolitis (dry socket) after having a tooth or teeth avulsed (removed) if you do not follow the Dentists' orders for post op procedure....the body has to form natural blood clots to prevent this. The most important thing you can do is avoid sweating believe it or not. Avoid straw sucking, fizzy beverages, etc at least for a twelve hour period. This will ensure the forming of your clots correctly. (H.Williams, Ceritified Dental Assitant, CDA)

Usually a dry socket will occur when you have had a tooth pulled (wisdom teeth being pulled are notorious for this). A dry socket is when the dentist pulls the tooth and the tissue covering the bone below the gum comes away and the bone is exposed to air. It's extremely painful. If you have a dry socket you would know it. If you are having pain go back to your dentist and if you can't get an appointment right away then go to the ER if you are in a lot of pain. Advil is an excellent over-the-counter pain killer and we use it here in Canada. Even beats Tylenol 3.
