I have developed a dry socket after having wisdom teeth pulled. Is anbesol ok to use.?

I had my wisdom teeth pulled four days ago and now I am on vacation. Before I left my dentist packed one of my extractions because of a dry socket with some gause with clove oil and other medicated stuff on it. I have run out of the extra dressings that he gave me. Someone told me to use gause mositened with a little water and some anbesol. The anbesol contains medicines that are for pain, swelling, and bacteria. Does this sound o.k. I have also been rinsing my mouth with warm salt water three times a day. Does anyone know how long it takes for a dry socket to go away.

About 3-4 weeks sometimes longer. Don't smoke
Reply:it will take away the pain temporarily


you need to go back to the dentist for dry socket treatment, it does not go away on its own!
Reply:Go to the dentist as soon as possible because you need treatment. Once you get the treatment, the dry socket will feel better immediately.


Don't suffer. You don't have to!
Reply:it could have dry socketed because you are rinsing, yes ambesol is safe to use, Honestly when I got mine pulled one of them dry socketed and I returned to the dentist they did nothing but give me more pain killers I think it was tylenol 3 and he said it would heal. The pain went away about a week later. Technically it healed but I still have the hole there 7 years later.
Reply:You need to return to the dentist that removed the wisdom teeth... a special medicated gauze will need to be packed into the socket in order for it to heal.
