Establish a diagnosis of alveolar osteitis; typically characterized as a constant dull or throbbing ache, exacerbated by touch, approximately 2 days post extraction. The socket will have no clot present and will usually be packed with food debris.
Thoroughly rinse and de-bride the socket.
Introduce Dry Socket Paste into the socket using a flat-bladed instrument or a disposable syringe.
Tamp down the Dry Socket Paste, ensuring coverage of all exposed bone.
Do not cover the Dry Socket Paste.
Dry Socket Paste will remain in the extraction socket 3 to 5 days and will gradually wash out as the socket heals – there is no need for a separate visit to remove the product.
