Hi Wendy,
Did the oral surgeon clean the wound out first?
Did he tell you that the packing needs to be changed in a day or two?
The clove packing will reduce the pain for sure. But it needs to be changed like I said in a day or two and then again maybe 2 more times depending on the severity of the dry socket.
If you smoke..... please stop at least until the wound closes over. The chemicals in the tobacco can prevent the site from healing.

I just got back from the oral surgeon. He said its dry socket, and stuck a bunch of clove smelling paste in there. Its helped the pain a bit. Everyone's been asking me all day what that smell is lol.
Thanks again for all the help. |
