I had a tooth extracted yesterday and hours later i saw white in the socket. can i use dry socket paste to avoid pain? i'm also treating an abscess

Do not disturb: You shouldn't put anything into the socket to disturb the clot that is forming. The clot at this stage is easily disturbed and can be dislodged which will lead to a dry socket.

White=normal healing: The white in the socket is normal after an extraction. There is nothing wrong and you should not be fearful of a dry socket at this time. Think of the white in the socket as the scab over the extraction site. If you have a scab on your arm that gets wet it will appear soft and white-ish. This is basically the same thing. If the tooth was abscessed before removal, it will now heal with the tooth ou.
