hello

i don't understand what do you mean from hospital. if there is proper sterlization , expert care (an oral surgeon) and emergency services are available in the hospital then surely you can go with it.

as far as dry socket is concerned plz follow certain steps to avoid:

~apply ice bag for 24 hrs after tooth removal (extraction)
~try not to disturb the site of extraction by touching with finger or tongue.
~do not smoke for at least a week, if you have the habit.
~use antiseptic mouthwash to rinse
~do not use very hard brush in the area
~avoid strenuous work for 3-4 days.


hope this answer helps.

Regards
Dr. Shesh
