Exposed bone: Dry socket is the very painful condition where the healing blood clot is lost and the bone is exposed to the environment. So initially it will look like an empty hole. Many times you can see the bone. As it is healing this hole will fill in with tissue. You need to see the dentist who did the extraction for treatment.

Rather feels like: Dry socket pain is often accompanied by bad breath and a foul taste. These symptoms are common and will disappear slowly as healing occurs.
