Can a child get dry socket?
YES, although very unusual apparently. Just come home from the dentist with my 14 year old daughter who has one. Dentist thinks that it is due to the very traumatic tooth extraction she had on Monday (took 2 dentists half an hour to get it out because of the size of the roots on it). Anyway, socket now packed and a course of strong antibiotics started. Also gave us a strong mouthwash for bedtime.
What is a natural remedy for dry socket?
There's not much you can do at home to remedy a dry socket. Dentists and oral surgeons need to repack the socket with a medicated dressing that helps with the pain and infection, but it doesn't speed up the healing process much. They need to heal on their own. So see your dentist if you have a dry socket or suspect one due to extreme pain.... if you must wait, rinse your mouth gently with salt water to keep the area clean and try not to focus on the pain.
What is the treatment for dry socket?
the best treatment home treatment is basically the same you will get at you dentist office. Go to Walgreen's and ask for the red cross extraction pain kit' it contains a small vial with Eugenol the same compound dentist use for dry socket pain. I have used it .Its the only thing that will work. Use a very small piece of a cotton ball soak it in eugenol and with a small tweezers try to insert it in the socket. Pain will go away quick.

No, sulfur would not be used as a medical treatment. Possibly you are confusing it with sulfa drugs, an early antibiotic. Consult your dentist if you actually have an abscess. This is not something to treat with a home remedy.
What are the steps to helping a patient with coronal fractures involving the enamal?
There are basic steps you can take to elevate any pain caused by coronal (crown) fractures. If the fracture is deep enough to expose the roots, pain will persist. The first and foremost would be to immediately call the dentist office where the person is a patient. The dentist will more than likely prescribe something for pain until the patient can be seen to have it fixed. Secondly, do not try to remove any fragments that may be attached, this can cause further damage to the tooth structure. Sugarless gum can be used to fill in a portion of the crown that is missing until the dentist can fill it or place a crown on it. Other than using the gum method there is not much that can be done at home to help a tooth fracture.
