Now he is experiencing a burning pain behind the tooth he had filled. His clot on the pulled tooth looks normal so I don't know if it's a dry socket. He did have a root canal months ago on the tooth he had pulled. He does smoke. The pain is keeping him up. I have had him do salt rinses and he is using oral gel. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't see a dentist until Monday.
