Broken wings,
When a dry socket is packed with the medication the pain stops instantly. The packing generally has to be replaced once a day for about 3-4 days in a row.
She may need to have the socket debrided... meaning scraped/cleaned out prior to the packing. Usually this debridement is done without question, but perhaps it wasn't in her case?
It concerns me that she is having so much pain. What is she rinsing with? Does she smoke?
What did the dentist say the white on her gums was?

They packed it appropriately.
Apparently that didn't help.
She had to go back again for a second packing for dry socket.
still didn't stop the pain from dry socket.
went back. dentist said she would just have to endure it because it wasn't going to help packing it again.
Any more suggestions?
