Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is a painful condition that occurs after a tooth extraction when the blood clot fails to develop or is dislodged. The exposed bone and nerve endings in the socket cause a dull, aching, and continuous or almost continuous pain, which can be moderate to severe. A key characteristic is the absence of significant swelling or signs of infection (like pus or high fever) in the adjacent tissues, distinguishing it from an infection.
