What is a Dry Socket? A dry socket is a common difficulty that arises after removal of the tooth and is characterized by sharp pain. It occurs when a blood clot in the hollow cavity formed due to the tooth extraction, gets dissolved, leaving the nerve and bone exposed to fluids, food, and air. Dry socket is also known as alveolar osteitis.
