If you goo a Doogle search, you'll find a plethora of bands calling themselves Dry Socket. But you gotta admit, these two (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=141189067) are aptly named.

I only bring up dry socket because I had a pooth tulled yesterday, and I asked the doc if I could go riding this weekend. He advised against it, because the protective blood clot (there's another name for you) could be dislodged, leading to DS. I sorta knew what DS was, but I looked it up, and it's all this and more!

Severe pain within a few days after a tooth extraction
Partial or total loss of the blood clot at the tooth extraction site, which you may notice as an empty-looking (dry) socket
Visible bone in the socket
Pain that radiates from the socket to your ear or eye on the same side of your face
Bad breath or a foul odor coming from your mouth
Unpleasant taste in your mouth
Swollen lymph nodes around your jaw or neck

Yeouch!

...but the rest of the deal sounds really unpleasant for you and not for others, so don't ride.

Well, not what I thought the thread was going to be about...and I guess that's a good thing.
