Take Care of Extraction Sites!
Following a tooth extraction, it’s important for you to take good care of the extraction sites. During the healing process, a blood clot normally forms in an empty tooth socket. If one doesn’t form or it becomes dislodged, you can suffer a painful complication known as dry socket. The pain is due to exposed nerves and bone in the extraction site. To avoid dry socket, follow ALL the post-care instructions Dr. Barksdale gives you.
