A dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, occurs when the blood clot at a tooth extraction site dislodges or dissolves, exposing the underlying bone and nerves. This condition can lead to severe pain, delayed healing, and increased risk of infection. Additionally, the exposed bone can become inflamed, resulting in complications that may require further dental treatment. Proper aftercare following tooth extraction is crucial to minimize the risk of developing a dry socket.
