Just want to share a word of caution here about dental extractions and medications. ALL pain meds are meant to be taken as prescribed. It is NEVER a good idea to put any pain medication or aspirin inside the hole of an extraction site. The medication will absorb the blood clot and prevent the bone from healing in completely. This usually leads to a very painful infection called a dry socket. Oral medications are not meant to be placed directly in or on any open wound or surgical site.

Just wanted to pass that information along to everyone!
