How can i prevent dry socket after wisdom teeth removal?

Some do's to help: Start taking pain meds immediately afterwards.Do not wait until pain sets in! take it easy for the rest of the day.No exercises for 12-24 hrs, no heavy lifting for 2-3 days.Keep your head up w pillows first nite.Stick to liquid or soft diet first day or two-soups, smoothies, yogurts etc.Avoid spicyfoods, hot drinks and sodas for 3-4 days.Rinse after every meal, snack.Do not spit forcefully! good luck.

Avoid . . .: Vigorous rinsing, spitting sucking through a straw and smoking as these may increase the risk of developing a dry socket.

Bone grafting: I agree with the other doctors... As additional piece of information, we have never seen a dry socket when bone grafting has been used for socket preservation. It fills the hole from the extracted tooth and the clot is not exposed as with a traditional wisdom tooth extraction without bone grafting.
