    A girl at work who had a dry socket started to feel better pretty quickly after the dentist filled it and gave her antibiotics.

    Thanks Hun, so not what I expected, 3 teeth pulled in under 2 mths including a wisdom and this is just gross. Looks like a little off white sac in there.
    Is it a quick procedure?

    if its dry socket then they generally make sure its clean of debris then pack it, takes 5-10 mins
