Dry Socket is the term called for one of your nerves in your gums being exposed after a tooth is removed. When they remove your wisdom teeth, they stick the nerves back into the gum line and wait for the gums to heal over them. If you do a lot of sucking, such as with cigarettes, straws, or in SPuL's case, cock, you can risk re-exposing the nerve, which is very painful.
