Have you ever had a dry socket before? If so I sympathize for you, if not  I hope you never have one. A dentist in Bristol says that dry sockets are painful and occur in places where teeth have been removed or fallen out. They are most commonly seen with the removal of the wisdom teeth. To avoid dry sockets, one must take care of their teeth and be careful with what you eat after tooth loss.

Dry sockets have various causes which can mostly be avoided. One cause seen often is after the removal of wisdom teeth people begin to eat foods they should avoid. This may not sound wrong; however food can get stuck in the holes that were recently made. The crumbs left behind combined with bacteria cause the pain of a dry socket.  A few other causes are saliva, and spitting after a surgery.

The dentist in Bristol encourages us to not be afraid of getting dry sockets, but that we are cautious and careful as to avoid such pain. A dry socket is an easy fix, but a painful one. If you've just had your wisdom teeth removed and are feeling a lot of pain in the new holes made in your mouth, call your dentist and ask for a visit. He'll be able to help you fix your problem.
