Will swishing with peroxide heal dry socket faster?
No. Hydrogen peroxide will intensify the problem. Alveolar osteitis, or "Dry socket," occurs when the protective blood clot that forms after tooth extraction dislodges or fails to form properly. The pain one experiences is due to inflammation of the exposed bone, not necessarily infection of the tissues. Hydrogen peroxide works well to prevent infection but it will also prevent the growth of new tissues from forming a barrier between the elements in your mouth and the exposed bone. Most cases of dry socket are self-limiting and will resolve within a week or so. Your dentist or oral surgeon can also provide you with various medications and/or dressings that will help reduce the pain.
