If you think you have a dry socket, I encourage you to see your dentist or oral surgeon ASAP. They will pack the site with a very small piece of gauze soaked in a clove oil mixture. The whole procedure takes less than 5 minutes, will cost you around $35 (that’s a Chicago price, though – could be high), and you will feel UNBELIEVABLY better in about 10 – 20 minutes.
