Dental Insurance Health Care, Dry Socket
Question: How do you get dry socket? I have to have a bad tooth pulled and a implant put in. I can not have the implant until my gums heal. However I am worried that when they pull my tooth I may get dry socket. I do not know much about it only that it happen when you pull a tooth.
Reply: You will want to follow the dentist aftercare instructions to the letter. Just taking care of your extraction like you are told to will help avoid you from dry socket and any other problems.
