Spitting can potentially increase the risk of dry socket after a tooth extraction, especially if it is done forcefully. This action may dislodge the blood clot that forms in the extraction site, which is crucial for healing. To minimize the risk, it's generally advised to avoid spitting or performing any vigorous actions for at least 24 hours post-surgery. Always follow your dentist's aftercare instructions for the best recovery.
