question about dry socket
I currently have dry socket on my two lower extrations. Today i just had my packings removed(which i have had my sockets packed every day for 7 days) and now I am kinda scared to eat. Wont food get in there if the hole is as big as those strips of gauze? And now that I am not having much pain will dry socket come back if im not careful? Thanks for any advice.
A related discussion, pulled wisdom teeth was started.
The gauze is actually filling the hole, so you probably won't get much in there. I had the same situation, and my surgeon changed the gauze every other day for a week. The worst part was the antibiotic that the gauze is soaked in - tastes awful!
I mostly ate things that required minimal chewing (scrambled eggs, yogurt, etc.). Luckily, they heal fast, so hopefully you will feel better and be back to eating real food soon!

The dry sockets will not return. Secondly, use a water pik or a similar device to keep the sockets clean.
