A member asked:
I had 2 wisdowm teeth removed this past tuesday. im vomiting due to a virus, can this cause dry socket? what about an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it cannot. : Dry Socket mostly occurs 1-2 days after extraction and its not an infection. Symptoms are pain which increases with time, bad breath, hollow socket( no clot). So, if teeth were removed on tuesday its been 4-5 days so most likely u are safe. And Virus infection doesnt cause dry socket. Vomiting might cause discomfort in mouth after muscles stretch.
