A member asked:

Can you get dry socket twice in the same tooth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes you can if dislodging the blood clot that forms inside the socket and therefore disturbing the healing process, dry socket can happen again bad again and might get worse and leads to osteomyelitis which is inflammation of the bone of the jaw.
