Can you get dry socket aftercgetting 2nd molar pulled with sutures ?

Not Usually : Dry socket is a condition that occurs when residual infection causes the blood clot to fail exposing the bone. If you experience pain after the initial soreness has eased, return to your dentist. Usually extractions heal without complications.

Yes: If you are having a pain issue, contact the Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that did the extraction for follow-up care.
