A member asked:
Am i more susceptible to get dry socket if i sleep with my mouth open at night, and just got wisdom teeth out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Sleeping with your mouth open is not an aggravating behavior that would cause you to prematurely lose the blood clots in your extraction sockets - where they would not reform and lead to a "dry socket".
