A member asked:
Is it ok to keep gall pads in my mouth since the dry socket paste came out 6 hours after applied. what can i do to make sure it's healing properly.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better Idea...: Go back and have the paste reapplied. The paste has medication to help the socket heal faster and to ease the pain.
