What Is Dry Socket?
7. Previous Infection
Tooth and gums can be pretty nasty. They can cause quite a lot of pain and also lead to unwelcome trips to the dentist. The good news is that they are treatable and the patient will usually make a full recovery, but even then, they might cause future complications.
If you have previously had an infection at the site where a tooth is removed, your chances of getting dry socket will be increased. In addition, you are more likely to get dry socket if you have had dry socket in the past. If you have had these conditions or any others concerning the mouth then you should let the dentist know first.
