10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #10: Bad Breath
Many of us will try to avoid eating certain foods before we go out. Certain foods can directly leave an unpleasant smell on our breath. Other foods can encourage the growth of bacteria in the mouth, and these bacteria will release pungent gases that can give us bad breath. It can be embarrassing, but it is usually quite easy to deal with.
Patients with a dry socket, however, can experience bad breath that is not so easy to deal with. It can be difficult to deal with because the offending bacteria will be located in the empty socket, and this can make it difficult to remove. The good news is that the bad breath will go away once the dry socket has been dealt with.
