Will packing a dry socket at home delay healing?
Depends on what you're packing it with. If you suspect a dry socket you need to go back to your dentist and have them pack the socket with medicaided dressings. However I have heard of temporary relief coming form oil of clove, or eugenol, which can be purchased at most drug stores otc. I currently have a dry socket which I got on Sunday and of course monday was Christmas eve and today Christmas! My luck. Yesterday someone mentioned eugenol and thank the lord Im not in huge pain anymore! I just wet a piece of gauze with the oil of clove and dunked it in the hole and have relief for at least 4 hours. My appoitment is tomorrow with my surgeoon.

How soon can you eat after having a dry socket treatment?
Eating after treatment of a dry socket when a tooth was pulled, is usually a matter of comfort. Try not to eat anything like nuts, that will lodge in the socket. You may want to stick to liquids or puddings for a day, to allow the dry socket time to heal, and so you won't be biting on a painful surface.
