Hi

I'm sorry to hear the pain you are in. I have dealt with a dry socket and its no fun. I would remove the dressing. I actually removed it a few hours after having a tooth pulled. What caused my dry socket is smoking.
After having a second tooth extracted I learned from the first time. I had to make sure I kept that area moist drinking fluids. I actually drank a bunch of apple juice and would let it sit on that side for 15 seconds before swallowing it. I made sure not to use aby drinking straws. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Best wishes,
