dry socket

pure hell which sets in a couple of days after a tooth extraction; usually wisdom teeth.

if your surgeon applies too much force when removing the teeth you are more likely to encounter this; it involves the bare jaw bone being exposed-- alowing bacteria and air to come in contact with it, causing pain that is unstopable by normal means such as Vicodin or Valium.

i was feeling fine after surgery then i got dry socket and now i just whence in pain all day.
