I'll get back in touch with her and let you know.

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?
