Do you have pain from having the dentist packing your dry socket a week ago or a month ago? Did you finish taking the antibiotics to clear up the infection? You can call the dentist and ask how long you can expect to have pain, especially if your prescription for antibiotics has run out.

I have dry socket and the dentist just packed it and if does feel better. What happens to that gauze . I am afraid to eat because the gauze may fall out.Does it just fall out after a few hours?
The gauze is medicated with a simple form of local anesthetic. It is packed into the socket and it will not likely come out. After a day or two it will need to be removed. If the socket is still painful, the dentist may repack it with fresh medicated gauze. It too will have to be removed after a few days. Eventually, the socket will calm down, and the gauze will not have to be replaced.
How long does the pain of a dry socket last?
The pain of a dry socket should last no longer than 4 days. Dry sockets typically occur after you've gotten a tooth pulled. If the pain persists for more than 4 days after the extraction, contact your dentist for an appointment.
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 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.

I would not recomend putting anything in your mouth that will increase the poteintial for sensitivity or pain to your dry socket.

Try your best to keep your mouth free of cold air, and do not drink from a straw,smoke any cigarettes ,spit forcefully,or swish your mouth when brushing your teeth.

Ask your dentist if he has heard of a "dry socket." That's why you have pain. Your gum healed and trapped a bit of air in the hole where your tooth used to be. Maybe you should see another dentist.
