10 Dry Socket Symptoms
Symptom #7: Inflamed Tissues
The tissues of the gum are quite soft, but they are generally well protected because they are in the mouth. A scratch from sharp food or similar, however, can soon reveal just how sensitive these tissues can be. As such, they can also be prone to inflammation.
While the bone in the socket might otherwise be exposed, it is not always easy to see it. This is often because it is not easy to see clearly into the mouth. However, there is also another potential reason for it: the tissues around the socket can become inflamed and swollen, causing them to cover the hole where the empty socket is.
