10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #6: Visible Bone
Our bones are there to help provide support for the softer materials in our bodies. Many animals have their skeletons on the outsides of their body and this helps to give them protection. We are too large for that, though, so we have our skeletons on the inside instead.
This means that our bones are usually hidden away out of sight. In cases of a dry socket, however, the bone can be clearly visible, at least with help from a dentist’s mirror. Unfortunately, for the patient, this also means that the nerves are exposed and this can result in some very unpleasant symptoms.
