A dry socket is where a tooth is removed and a blood clot forms. When the blood clot falls out, it leaves a dry socket behind. This is a case where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If this has already happened to your friend, really the only way to get out of enduring this is to go see a dental professional. An oral surgeon is probably who sees the most of these and would be the most experienced with them. It is possible as well that she may have a secondary infection, where once again visiting the dentist or oral surgeon would be the best course of action. Good Luck.
