What does it mean to have dry-socket??
Question: i guess it's something that can happen after you get your wisdom teeth out..but what is it exactly...
Answers: a dry socket comes from after the tooth is pulled blood 'pools' in the area where the roots and tooth was removed and actually acts as a natural bandage for lack of a better word. if the person who has the tooth removed swishes their mouth out too vigorously it can dislodge the blood clot thus causing a dry socket which is extremely painful. when you have a tooth removed us the gauze to bite down on to apply constant but gentle pressure to the area, then when you go to rinse your mouth do not swish, hold the salt/water mixture in your mouth and turn your head back and forth letting the water run gently around the inside of your mouth, then don't spit it out....open your mouth and let it run out on its on. do not do vigorous exersize as this increase blood flow nor do you want to get out in the extreme heat and get over heated. don't take aspirin it thins the blood making it harder for it to coagulate. don't chew or eat food that is hard or crisp it can lodge in the area. and more than anything listen to your dentist, take it easy for a few days and then you can return to normal once the skin above where the tooth was removed grows over.
It is when a bit of food goes down into the hole in your mouth after you have had a tooth pulled. So the food stays in there, and you get an infection. It hurts really bad.
I had this! It was terrible. The scab that covered the bone came away and the bone and nerves are then exposed to the air. The pain was terrible. Because of the exposed nerves I had pain running down my neck and into my chest. It was nearly two weeks before the pain subsided.
When your wisdom teeth are pulled out, there is a big hole in your mouth where they were. If these holes are not kept wet by saliva, then it can be very painful. Imagine a worm not being all wet and slimy on the sidewalk on a hot summers day. Thats what its like for those holes in your mouth.
It can happen when you get any tooth pulled. It is caused when the socket where a tooth was looses its blood clot. Then you just have an open or dry socket which exposes a small portion of your jawbone.. They are caused by smoking or drinking carbonated beverages or using a straw or similar activities while the blood clot is still new. They are very painful and when you get one you have to go to a dentist and get sutures to close up the hole...
a dry socket occurs when after a tooth has been extracted, the area where the roots were is supposed to be covered by a blood clot. this insulates the bone basically so you can heal from the inside out- IF part of this blood clot or all of it becomes dislodged then the bone is exposed and it reacts to every sort of stimuli- the only releif is going back to the dentist and allowing him to cover it with a medication until it heals as it should have
Dry socket is when the blood clot that forms in the hole comes out. It happens often when using a straw, and the sucking movement pulls out the clot. It can also happen from sucking on the area where the tooth was removed. Dry socket is really pretty common when getting any teeth removed, not just your wisdom teeth.
When the blood clot that was there to stop the bleeding dislodges and the opening heals from the the outside in vs. inside out. That's why you're supposed to stay away from using straws, smoking or having exposed gums in the cold weather so it doesn't scab over and start to heal on the outside first. It's painful, yucky, and has a very bad stagnant smell.
