Yes it is more common on them & more so on the lower . Doc W
Dry socket is common with wisdom teeth because of the size of the hole, the bigger the hole the longer it takes to heal
Ways to avoid dry socket;
- DONT SMOKE
- Dont drink beer (because of the yeast)
- Keep your mouth clean
- If you are gettint your wosdom teeth pulled the dentist will give you a specail antibacterial rins - Use it
Dry socket is very painfull and not fun, the most important thing you can do is not to smoke or drink beer.
Good luck!
I sudgest you eat somethin hard and crunchy before you go because its going to be a few weeks before you can eat stuff like that again lol
