Breath7

• Halitosis: Tobacco can give you bad breath by drying out your mouth, changing your sense of smell, and leaving a nasty smell on your breath. (drsekharsdental.com)
• Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be a cause of awkward situations. (bayareaosm.com)

Alveolar6

• Alveolar osteitis, also known as dry socket, is inflammation of the alveolar bone (i.e., the alveolar process of the maxilla or mandible). (wikipedia.org)
• Alveolar osteitis usually occurs where the blood clot fails to form or is lost from the socket (i.e., the defect left in the gum when a tooth is taken out). (wikipedia.org)
• This leaves an empty socket where bone is exposed to the oral cavity, causing a localized alveolar osteitis limited to the lamina dura (i.e., the bone which lines the socket). (wikipedia.org)
• Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket. (wikipedia.org)
• This can result in a painful condition called alveolar osteitis or dry socket. (drsekharsdental.com)
• A dry socket, medically known as alveolar osteitis, is a painful dental condition that can happen after you've had a permanent adult tooth extracted. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)

Tobacco1

• Tobacco smokers have over three times the risk of having a post-tooth extraction dry socket. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)

Inflammation2

• This localizes the inflammation to the walls of the socket, which become necrotic. (wikipedia.org)
• Sinusitis (sinus infection) or rhinosinusitis is inflammation or painful swelling of the sinuses. (theayurvedaexperience.com)

Bacterial1

• A swollen tongue won't necessarily give you halitosis, but any form of bacterial infection can result in a foul-smelling odor. (sweetwatersmile.com)

Foul1

• A dry socket because of smoking causes foul odor issue - halitosis and radiates pain from the extraction site to the whole jawbone. (pasadenadentaldoc.com)

Blood clot6

• Signs may include: An empty socket, which is partially or totally devoid of blood clot. (wikipedia.org)
• Normally, following extraction of a tooth, blood is extravasated into the socket, and a blood clot (thrombus) forms. (wikipedia.org)
• In a dry socket, healing is delayed because tissue must grow from the surrounding gingival mucosa, which takes longer than the normal organisation of a blood clot. (wikipedia.org)
• A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely or dissolves from the tooth socket. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)
• It's a painful condition that can occur after a tooth extraction when a blood clot doesn't form or is lost, exposing the bone. (exceldental.ca)
• If this blood clot becomes dislodged before your mouth has fully healed it can cause pain, this is called dry socket. (duodentalgroup.com)

Toothache1

• Do you have a painful toothache that will not subside? (dentalcareeasthanover.com)

Severe4

• Dry socket can cause severe pain that may last for several days, so it's wise to do everything you can to avoid it. (dentistryasheboro.com)

Occur3

• Dry sockets more commonly occur in the mandible (lower jaw) than the maxilla (upper), due to the relatively poor blood supply of the mandible and also because food debris tends to gather in lower sockets more readily than upper ones. (wikipedia.org)
• Dry socket is more likely to occur where there is a pre-existing infection in the mouth, such as necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis or chronic periodontitis. (wikipedia.org)
• Dry sockets occur most often in the lower jaw and are usually associated with removal of the molar teeth. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)

Clot2

• Bacteria may secondarily colonize the socket, and lead to further dissolution of the clot. (wikipedia.org)
• At exhalation time, the force moves the clot from its place turning that area into a dry socket. (pasadenadentaldoc.com)

Infection3

• A dry socket is not an infection, but will require treatment. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)
• However, potential issues may include delayed healing, infection in the socket, or progression to a chronic bone infection known as osteomyelitis. (hillcountryoralsurgery.com)
• Smoking is one of the main causes of dry socket, an infection that can happen in the surgical site. (dentistryasheboro.com)

Teeth7

• Dry socket occurs in 0.5% to 5% of routine dental extractions, and in about 25-30% of extractions of mandibular (lower) wisdom teeth that are impacted (buried in the bone of the lower jaw, erupting during adulthood). (wikipedia.org)
• It more commonly occurs in posterior sockets (molar teeth) than anterior sockets (premolars and incisors), possibly because the size of the created surgical defect is relatively larger, and because the blood supply is relatively poorer at these sites. (wikipedia.org)
• Dry socket is especially associated with extraction of lower wisdom teeth. (wikipedia.org)
• Wisdom teeth not associated with pericoronitis are less likely to cause a dry socket when extracted. (wikipedia.org)
• Whether you have an abscessed tooth, or painful cracked or chipped teeth, we can help. (torrancegumdiseasedentist.com)
• During closure in an ideal occlusion, the teeth should all contact simultaneously and with equal pressure when the jaw joints are fully seated up in their sockets. (aurorafamilydentalcare.com)
