YES, although very unusual apparently. Just come home from the dentist with my 14 year old daughter who has one. Dentist thinks that it is due to the very traumatic tooth extraction she had on Monday (took 2 dentists half an hour to get it out because of the size of the roots on it). Anyway, socket now packed and a course of strong antibiotics started. Also gave us a strong mouthwash for bedtime.

Eating after treatment of a dry socket when a tooth was pulled, is usually a matter of comfort. Try not to eat anything like nuts, that will lodge in the socket.

After a tooth extraction What does it mean if the socket turns white?
If the socket turns white after a tooth extraction, it means you have a dry socket. The white you are seeing is bone. After you have a tooth pulled, there is a socket or bone and sensitive nerves.

Dry sockets can lead to terrible pain and inflammation You should call your dentist right away if you have one!
