Are there any over-the-counter methods for treating dry socket post-wisdom tooth extraction?

See your surgeon: Dry socket paste, placed on sterile strip gauze, and placed into the extraction socket after it has been irrigated with sterile water and cleaned out is not easily performed by the untrained. See your surgeon and have it done correctly.. you'll heal and feel better faster. All the best...

Not recommended: This should really be evaluated by the surgeon who treated you. It needs to be evaluated to rule out an infection or other medically related issues. You'll feel better sooner having an expert treat you. Your aftercare should be part of the initial procedure and is your dentist's responsibility.

No: The most comprehensive and effective treatment can only be provided by a dentist or oral surgeon. See your dentist for evaluation and treatment.
