has anyone else had their dry socket dressed ?

[candyfluff]

god the stuff is good for the pain but tastes sooo bad when does that taste wear off? had it put in tuesday lunch time
its making me feel sick

The stuff they use is horrendous! I don't think I've ever had to taste anything so bad. I removed mine and swilled my mouth out with mouthwash but it took a while for the taste to go.

i think most of it has come out and have been rinsing with hot salty water and using mouthwash ,do you have idea how long it took -its driving me nuts

my face feels like its swelling up again
got a feeling its my salivary gland has gone into overdrive from that shitty dressing in there arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bump

Once I'd taken all the brown gunk out of the socket, the taste went away within a day I guess.

Keep rinsing!

I had mine dressed after 3 days of agony. Yes, it helped instantly but it came out the next day and was back to square one.

im too scared to touch it
think its responsible for the heartburn im having too

it tastes like tcp -jesus its bad
dentist said it would just disolve and that i didnt need to go back

It is clove paste isn't it?

Dry socket???? I'm having a wisdom tooth removed soon - is this related? I'm terrified of the dentist!!

CJMummy. Google dry socket. It is something you need to be aware of. It doesn't always happen.

its more common in lower teeth extraction and if you suck through a straw and if you smkoe or on the pill ,you will know you have it coz the pain is terrible

I got this when I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed. It was truly horrendous. The worst pain EVER. Mine were dressed twice and the stuff they use is vile. Looks like tobacco to me, the taste stayed with me for days.

I did not eat for about 2 weeks so lost some weight though!
