Dry socket paste, typically used to promote healing after a tooth extraction, is generally meant to stay in place for a few days. Dentists may apply the paste during follow-up visits, and it usually remains in the socket until it dissolves or is absorbed by the body. However, the exact duration can vary based on individual healing and the specific product used. It's important to follow your dentist's instructions regarding care and any follow-up appointments.

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