"I was eating a piece of hard beef, roasted pork, ice, nuts, or candy... then I felt something snap. Now my tooth is broken."
That moment creates immediate panic.

Dry socket is one of the most painful complications after a tooth extraction. Many patients immediately wonder: “Did my dentist do something wrong?”
The answer is not always straightforward.
As a dental specialist practicing in Osaka, I can confidently say that dry socket is rarely caused by dentist error alone. It is typically the result of multiple factors—many of which are beyond clinical control.
