does anyone have any home remedies that i can use to take away the pain?


Answers:

As a dentist I can assure you that the best advise is to visit your dentist again for further dry socket treatment. If you leave this untreated you are asking for a severe infection as a dry socket is where the clot dislodges exposing the bone to air, food and bacteria which is very susceptible for an infection to form. Until you can see your dentist, rinse your mouth with warm salt water and try taking Motrin (Ibuprofen) for pain, this will also help with inflammation. Also try using a cold compress, this will help numb the area, but do yourself a huge favor and see your dentist ASAP. Good luck and feel better soon!
