A member asked:

I snore quite a bit, will my open-mouth snoring lead to dry-socket in the night?

No: Dry Socket is a painful condition of the bone where a tooth was recently extracted. The blood clot fails due to infection exposing the bone. It is usually very painful. Snoring or just mouth breathing will not cause dry socket.
