Not after ANY form of advice as I know this ones a no-no. Just curious really, how long has anyone had dry socket for after a tooth extraction?
 
Dry socket's where the clot that should form in the hole for whatever reason doesnt (in my case I think I hit the mouthwash too early).
I'm on over a week without any kind of healing on it so ill get back in touch with my dentist :)
 
Thanks Vixen - a definite "get it sorted" has cleared that up nicely, have been using the gengigel gel (bonjella/teething gel with a few more active ingredients basically - is meant for helping heal extractions) and the pains all but gone (which considering its nerve pain might be a bad thing!) but still have BIG hole. Ill go get it sorted tmro :)
 
First day or 2 it stung like a "child who doesnt know who its father is", not been so bad since :)
Gonna go back get it seen to tho - do recommend having some gengigel on standby to any having teeth pulled (but make SURE u follow dentists advice!)
