Yes: The action of vomiting may dislodge or loosen the blood clot protecting the bone of healing socket. This could lead to loss of clot, exposed bone of socket, the dry socket is possible. If it happens within the first 24hrs, more likely to occur.

Yes: Any forced air movement or spitting can cause a negative pressure in the oral environment and this can cause the blood clot that is located in the extraction socket (place) to come out leaving a dry socket or extraction area whwere the blood clot has been removed.

Yes: Any vigorous negative pressure, such as coughing, sucking, spitting and vomiting, can disrupt the healing from an open wound in the mouth. The key word is 'undisturbed.' let the extraction site heal and you will greatly lessen your chances of a dry socket. If you suspect a dry socket, make an appointment to 'pack' the wound and re-initialize healing.

Maybe: A dry socket is when the blood clot in no longer covering the bone inside the extraction socket. Vomiting may have dislodged the clot and washed it away. See your dentist so that he/she can place a medicated dressing inside the extraction socket so the bone can continue healing.

Maybe: Vomiting after an extraction is usually caused by one of several things. Either swallowing blood during or after the procedure, or a common reaction to the pain medication that is usually prescribed. The forceful motion of vomiting may cause the blood clot that is forming in the extraction site to become disturbed and fall out. However, some people get dry socket no matter what they do.
