How long can hard-boiled eggs stay out at room temperature? The Easter basket looks empty without them. Your friendly U.S. Department of Agriculture says you can keep those colorful eggs in the Easter basket or out for an Easter egg hunt for absolutely as long as you like  as long as it's not more than two hours. Otherwise, it says, they should be kept in the refrigerator.
Dry socket can sometimes occur following a tooth extraction. This is caused when the socket where the tooth once was is slow to heal. The condition can be very painful for three to five days or so. Your dentist will advise you of what post extraction regimen to follow in order to help prevent this condition.
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, your dentist will try to fix it with a filling, crown or other treatment. Sometimes, though, there's too much damage for the tooth to be repaired. In this case, the tooth needs to be extracted.
