Answer:
When you get your tooth pulled you have a hole that wind is not allowed to make contact with and if it does it turns into a dry socket which a dry socket is a blood clot. Keep your mouth shut :)
Reply: When your tooth is pulled, you get a blood clot. That blood clot is supposed to be there, as it helps the healing process. Problem is, the clot is fragile, and certain things (drinking through a straw, smoking, spitting too forcefully, among others) can dislodge or dissolve it (and sometimes, it can even do it on its' own), and when that clot disappears, your gums take longer to heal, which causes more chance for the hole to get debris, bacteria, food, and irritants into it, which causes severe pain (as those things aren't supposed to be there), and *that* is Dry Socket.
Severe pain caused by the loss of the blood clot that helps with the healing process.
