Will you get a dry socket after having two top teeth removed?

The likelihood of developing dry socket (alveolar osteitis) is not necessarily increased or directly associated with having just two upper teeth removed. Dry socket is a potential complication that can occur after any tooth extraction and is not limited to specific locations in the mouth or the number of teeth involved. Several factors, such as surgical trauma, infection, underlying medical conditions, smoking, and poor oral hygiene, play a role in dry socket development rather than solely the loss of two upper teeth.
