See dentist today : Call your dentist. Find a way to see your dentist sooner. Dentists usually will see emergencies after regular office hours and dry socket is an emergency. Dry socket is a very painful condition that needs to be treated. Over the counter medications will provide some relief until you can see the dentist.

Packing: Meds won't do it. Dry socket needs to be packed with medicated gauze specific for this problem. You must see your dentist or an oral surgeon immediately for physical, rather thar pharmacological, treatment.
