My dentist gave me some of this and it was a life saver. I was in so much pain I was taking so much meds and nothing was helping. I went from extreme pain to normal. Does taste disgusting but it’s worth it.
Currently almost done with my dry socket healing and I have had this repacked every two days for the past week and I can tell you it tastes like battery acid dipped in spice 😩 the taste goes away after a few hours but reappears just a tiny bit when you eat or if you touch it. Absolutely disgusting but it does temporarily relieve pain. It’s a heck of a lot better than the excruciating pain of a dry socket. One of the worst pains of my life and I have 3 kids.
This is amazing! Thank you so much. I’ve had this placed today and I was worried about when to remove it, etc. this is a great video and I feel the pain is subsiding
Kindly correct , Iodoform is used here as antiseptic not disinfectant and eugenol has in addition to antiseptic and anaesthetic property , it has antimicrobial,anti inflammatory,analgesic
I had too get mines packed twice my dry socket was so severe it’s was also stink real bad when they pulled the old packing out it the second go round helped a lot ..
I’m experiencing a lot of pain, from a dry socket, all my dentist did was wash and clean it out. The pain med he proscribed don’t work, I feel like I’m dying in the pain.
Yes sometimes you need some socket medicament like the Alveogyl or a similar material. Advil / Tylenol don't usually touch a dry socket so stronger pain medication is helpful in the short term. I wish you all the best!
The Alveogyl that the dentist packed into my dry socket dislodged itself in less than 24 hours. I have not been chewing a lot nor have I rinsed my mouth. Should I go back to the dentist? Help!
I had this (what I’m assuming they packet my socket with) and they never told me if it’ll come out on it’s own ect so this video helped! Thank you. Been about 5 days and it’s still in I thought it looked like tobacco but yes the smell and taste was horrible but nothing after a day and a half.
Thank you for these videos. I had dry socket and a very awkward dental visit to get this stuff in. They gave me no advice or infomation on this stuff so I didn't know what to do with it. I'm a very nervous patient and was already traumatised and kinda dazed from the experience so didnt think to ask questions. 1. How long does it last? 2. Can we start eating normal again? Or is it back to stage one of the healing process. 3. Is it normal to have discomfort as it starts falling out? Is that the healing clot pushing it out? 4. Do we need to go back and get it replaced? Thank you for this x much love x
1- A day or two. 2- Back to Stage one 3- It is normal to have some pain after it falls out, and sometimes its necessary to put a fresh one back in...there's no clot forming, the healing is done with granulation tissue. 4- Depends on the degree of discomfort and pain.
You know it is Arabis medicine we used to use for sore gums we call it “ cloves oil “ made from cloves wich contain eugenol… i dont have the medoin the video but i will use the clove oil hope it helps
I recently had what my dentist referred to as a "very complicated wisdom tooth extraction." Had pain and swelling that wouldn't go away plus developed a foul taste and breath in my mouth. Went in because I thought I possibly had an infection and my dentist didn't even see me just had them prescribe me antibiotics. Still kept feeling lots of pain over the weekend so went to get an xray and it showed they left a piece of tooth fragment behind. It had been pushed up towards the gum line! Told me I also had dry socket and made a comment saying "we rarely get dry socket cases in a year and here you are with dry socket." He made me feel like I did something wrong but I followed the instructions as I was told. Could I have gotten dry socket from the piece of tooth left behind? I did get some relief after this stuff was put in but I did cry on the chair while they irrigated and packed it lol 😩😓😥
Tooth in the socket will impair the healing process to some degree. These things can happen from time to time and I’m glad to hear that everything is good now. All the best!
Hi, My dentist put this in my exposed socket. I wanted to know wether a clot was supposed to form over it? As I took out the white Guage after 2hrs once the bleeding stopped. Thanks
Hello please help me- i had this packed on monday and im back in pain again. I am.pregnant and cant take too many pain killers so its taking it out of me. I dont have my own dentist no where is taking anyone on. I had these procedures via the emergency dentists..its a mission getting booked through to them . Im consideirng buying the oaste and putting some on to my socket? Will that work or do i need to take the packing out and repqck with this??
Hi doctor, thanks for the video it was super informative! I just had this paste put in to help my dry socket pain but i didn't receive any aftercare instructions. 1. Should i refrain from rinsing the packed socket until the packing is dislodged? 2. Am i able to go back to eating normally or should i stick to liquids and non-solids? Thanks!
The answer to number 1 is just leave it alone in the socket and the answer to the second question is you can eat whatever you're comfortable eating, just try to stay clear of that side as best you can. All the best!
Hello, I’m 8 days post-op after all 4 wisdom teeth removal. Do I need to wait for them to fully heal in order to receive other treatments? For example, I have some cavities that need some filling. How long should I wait?
I had an infection then removed my molar, after extraction the infection was still there so the dentist did everything that u did in that video. Thank you so much for explaining i didn't know what was in my socket and was about to remove it.
I got my bottom left removed 11 days ago and I revisit my dentist to remove the stiches on Monday. Thanks god I do not have dry socket but unfortunately my hole do not heal properly. So, my dentist put this Alveogyl and given Diclofenac Sodium to endure the pains. My question is, do I still need to continue to eat soft food until my hole completely heals? To prevent from the debris from enter the hole?
No, you may eat whatever you are comfortable eating at this point. Regardless of how careful you are, some debris will find its way into the socket. Thankfully, the body is pretty good at handling this. All the best!
Hi i had my dry socket packed yesterday but i still have severe pain from time to time , am basically living on pain medications , what should i do?please help
Dry socket is often pretty intense for people. The packing demonstrated in the video only works for 1-2 days, then it wears off and the pain can return. The idea is to make it manageable with regular pain meds as they often won't even touch a dry socket. If you have concerns, I would follow up with your provider as they may have to pack it again for you. All the best!
My dry socket stopped hurting a few days ago but still a nice crater. Should I not pack / remove the paste if it's healing? I feel like If I keep packing my socket which is definitely healing (slowly) with this stuff I'll get an infection/ delay healing. It doesn't hurt at all with or without being packed!
Wondered if you can help? I had a molar removed 12 days ago and went back to the dentist just to check that it’s healing ok, he said that it’s healing fine, cleaned out the area and then added this dressing. Why would he have done this if it was healing ok? I didn’t have pain or swelling so I couldn’t understand why this was done 🤷♀️
Hi Emma - glad you're healing well. At this point, Alveogyl won't help much as you mentioned you're not having pain and it's a significant time after the extraction. It also won't really harm anything so probably more of a question for your provider as they may have had a reason they wanted it. All the best!
Thank you for the video! I got some paste put in today not sure if it was this one exactly. Should I not eat or drink certain things when this is in? Should I do any salt water rinses? I am very scared to dislodge the brown stuff. Since this was put in, how does my socket heal and gum grow? Thank you for this video and any answers you can give.
I would stay clear of that area for a day or two. If they put in what I show in the video it will naturally come out as the socket heals so no need to remove it. All the best!
Also, I have developed strong headache like migraine and sore throught since I had my dry socket, is this normal? My severe headache and sore thought never goes away no matter how many pain killers I take 😭
You can sometimes see headaches and a sore throat following posterior tooth removal (wisdom teeth in particular). It's difficult for me to comment however if that is the case for you. I would recommend following up with your provider. All the best!

thanks for the video！！！ im now healing my dry socket ，today is day one，im wondering do i need to packing the alveogyl again after somedays or just leave it ？
This stuff only lasts for a day or two. If the pain is manageable with pain meds, I generally tell people just to do that as the packing is a foreign material that can delay the healing a bit. If your Advil / Tylenol isn't working, then it's prudent to pack it again by removing the old stuff and putting a new bit in. All the best!
Hi. I got my tooth extracted (lower jaw) 8 days ago. Experienced deadly pain (10/10) in half the jaw, up to the eye and ear and nasty taste in the mouth. Went back to the doctor to get the the dry socket filled 4 days ago. The treatment removed the pain right away, and I have only had a little discomfort since until today. Now the pain is more intense again (5/10), and the nasty taste is back. 1. Is it normal to have an unpleasant taste until the dry socket is completely healed, or is it a sign of infection? 2. How long do I have to expect to have pain? Do you count 7-14 days of healing from surgery or from filling in the dry socket? 3. Is it normal to have discomfort as it starts falling out? Is that the healing clot pushing it out?
Kristine - the good news is these things get better with time. The taste is sometimes the result of stagnant packing in the socket. Occasionally it doesn’t fall out too easily and just collects bacteria and irritates the site after a while. I would imagine that’s what is going on, however it would be best to contact your provider if you need. All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia Thank you so much for your quick answer! I don't think its from the packing, because its the same taste that I had as a symptom of the dry socket before it was treated... So it is normal to have an unpleasant taste until the dry socket is completely healed?
@@Krisberg00 Yes you can have a foul smell or bad taste from it for sure. As long as you don't have swelling and that's your only symptom, typically you'll be okay. All the best!
Good morning thanks for the information I got my tooth pulled out on Thursday and got a perfect cloth but that night the oral bacteria disolved the cloth and had a lot of bleeding what came to a dry socket my dentist packet my socket with this stuff but the socket was half healed did I need that in
Tymo - if the dentist chose to apply it, then I would assume it was necessary. Hard to know without being there so that is the best answer I can provide. Hope you’re doing well! All the best!
I had two dry sockets and it didn't even hurt until they shoved this stuff in. The only reason I went back was for a check up, and they were like "you all fucked up in here"
Question, does alveogyl particles that remain in the hole that almost healed can be dissolved by the white blood cells? I see on internet quite divided opinions about this product. Some people say it gets dissolved, some that it gets displaced.. Is there any danger for this thing to stay inside and creates more problems later? In my case, a good amount of it got displaced and felt out within the first 24 hours, but I can still see deep down in the "pit" small "chunks" of it...
This is a great question. The manufacturer states that it will be displaced and extraction sockets heal from the outside, inward and the base upward so I see very little chance of this remaining behind. It's a plant-based substrate that's used.
Why not use this prophylactically? The dry socket is going to hit when you are at home and it could be DAYS before your dentist can see you. I couldn't fathom this kind of pain 24/7.
I love that name haha. Anyways, the directions would state that you do not remove it. It actually doesn't dissolve, but rather gets displaced from the socket over time.
The importance of the "Blood Clot" should be told very very clearly by all dentists. Loosing it hinders healing and magnifies pain to the max. I was very unaware and no where did it say it on the pamphlet given. The heading on the pamphlet should have been " No blood clot, get ready to die" lol. Thank you so much for the video, some amazing dentists on TH-cam which you rarely get to meet in the outside world. All about the money.. not you though hehe. 🤍
its stuck in my socket.. it has alr been 10 days.. and theres no more pain. i tried flushing it out but its not working. what do i do? i feel like its delaying the healing process pls help :((
Hi doc! I'm coming again after one year with my second bottom right extracted. On my day 5, my dentist remove my suture. I was complaining feels a pus taste but he said no dry socket. Then, after removing the suture, my pain in jaw 8/10 and ear is 9/10. The pain didn't exist while the suture still intact. How can I do doc?
To achieve primary closure.coz food fill inside the socket and the clot dislodge. If I'm not suture it,I'm afraid same things will happen again and again😅
@@foooiafung8767 When you place Alveogyl, you're inserting it into a dry socket and at that point, the clot has already been lost and there will not be a new one. Your healing is from new tissue growth that eventually covers over the bone so I would tend to avoid suturing in these instances. Thanks for watching and all the best!
Hi Doctor, please help me with some info. I have a dry socket, I have been at my dentist 2 times to put this stuff. I sm trying not to eat with the side where the socket is, Am I doing the right thing? What about if that stuff never comes out?
Hi Dr. Alveogyl was placed in a dry socket caused by the difficult removal of a wisdom tooth. The pain was severe for 4 days before treated with alveogyl. It's been 4 hrs since placement and the pain is yet to subside. Is this normal?
Generally if there is a dry socket this stuff does help and it works quite quickly. It only works for 1-2 days however, then may need to be changed out. All the best!
Hi! I'm ten days post-op for all four wisdom teeth. I had one tooth on the bottom that was impacted terribly and he had to break it in half to get it out. I went back today because of pain, turns out I had a dry socket on that side and he packed it. Didn't really give me the best aftercare instructions. Can I eat normally after a couple hours? How long does it take to fall out?
Riley - you can eat normally whenever you feel up to it. Be careful with that side and try not to have foods like rice or popcorn or small little things like that which can find their way into the socket and cause trouble later on. There is no good answer for how long that stuff stays in (depends on how tightly it's packed, shape of the socket, how you're cleaning, etc.), all I can tell you is that it will eventually come out so not to worry. All the best!
I had mine done this 3 days ago. The pain went away for 2 days but it’s starting to hurt again. With time, the brown stuff came off as I rinsed after food intake. Should I have this brown paste put on my mouth again? What is the healing process after the first application? Thanks a lot
Nishma - this is pretty common as it's designed to just get you more comfortable while the healing takes place. It actually acts a bit like a foreign body which in reality can slow healing a bit, but the trade-off is it's more comfortable. My usually comment to patients is if you can manage your discomfort with Advil / Tylenol and it's tolerable, you don't need more packing. If pain medications are not working, it's advisable to have it flushed and packed again. All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia thank you for the reply. Yes, the pain is tolerable but I am a bit concerned because the hole is big and everytime I eat, the food particles go there and sometimes even after couple of rinses I feel like it’s still there and am worried that with time if it causes some infection and do I need to visit dentist soon (it’s been 4 days after I saw the dentist).
Hey doc! I just got my bottom right wisdom tooth extraction site treated for a dry socket. It was a complete extraction, it’s been 8 days since the removal. I am noticing more pain after they packed and sew my gums. Is that normal?
Hard to comment Harrison - if sutures were placed for some reason then yes certainly things would be a bit more tender around the area. I would reach out to your provider if you have concerns as they'll be more familiar with what they did for you. All the best!
Then you'll either be good to go and everything will feel better, or you may have pain again and possibly could need another round of treatment. All the best!
I just got this as well and my dentist gave me absolutely no instructions other then to rinse.. I tried looking it up online but am getting no answers.. is it okay to smoke while this is placed in the socket?
It’s not desirable to smoke Destiny with or without the packing in place. Might be a good chance to quit? Thanks for checking out the video! All the best to you my friend!
This stuff taste like medicated beef jerky. So gross! After the pain of the surgeon compacting it into my socket from my wisdom tooth, it was all good . The pain went away within a little while.
My dentist packed my socket with alveogyl 5 days back (felt great for 3 days) and it still hasn't dissolved/been displaced. Now it's starting to hurt and since it's the weekend all I can do is lightly rinse my mouth with saltwater. Not sure what else I can do... Could it possibly cause an infection since it's a foreign body?
Allyson - there are times where this stuff hangs around too long and it becomes a source of irritation. I would visit your dentist to have them take a look and potentially clean it out for you. All the best!
I never do Colin. It's not super comfortable for them, but it only takes a couple seconds and most patients tolerate it just fine. The discomfort from the injection would likely be more than actually packing the site. If you were to anesthetize them, you could consider bupivicaine to have a longer lasting effect and perhaps provide a temporary relief for them. All the best!
This has been my go-to for 30 years
It works like magic
It is a great thing to have in your armament for pain management.
Do you put it in the socket yourself?
My dentist gave me some of this and it was a life saver. I was in so much pain I was taking so much meds and nothing was helping. I went from extreme pain to normal. Does taste disgusting but it’s worth it.
How did you heal once they have this to you? Did you get it placed more than once?

@@Krisberg00 Yes you can have a foul smell or bad taste from it for sure. As long as you don't have swelling and that's your only symptom, typically you'll be okay. All the best!
Good morning thanks for the information I got my tooth pulled out on Thursday and got a perfect cloth but that night the oral bacteria disolved the cloth and had a lot of bleeding what came to a dry socket my dentist packet my socket with this stuff but the socket was half healed did I need that in
Tymo - if the dentist chose to apply it, then I would assume it was necessary. Hard to know without being there so that is the best answer I can provide. Hope you’re doing well! All the best!
I had two dry sockets and it didn't even hurt until they shoved this stuff in. The only reason I went back was for a check up, and they were like "you all fucked up in here"
Question, does alveogyl particles that remain in the hole that almost healed can be dissolved by the white blood cells? I see on internet quite divided opinions about this product. Some people say it gets dissolved, some that it gets displaced..
Is there any danger for this thing to stay inside and creates more problems later? In my case, a good amount of it got displaced and felt out within the first 24 hours, but I can still see deep down in the "pit" small "chunks" of it...
This is a great question. The manufacturer states that it will be displaced and extraction sockets heal from the outside, inward and the base upward so I see very little chance of this remaining behind. It's a plant-based substrate that's used.
So what’s a permanent solution for dry socket?
Unfortunately there isn't a great one. Manage the symptoms with dressings and pain medication. Ultimately time is the solution. All the best!
Why not use this prophylactically? The dry socket is going to hit when you are at home and it could be DAYS before your dentist can see you. I couldn't fathom this kind of pain 24/7.
how long should we leave it in the socket or does it dissolve ?
I love that name haha. Anyways, the directions would state that you do not remove it. It actually doesn't dissolve, but rather gets displaced from the socket over time.
The importance of the "Blood Clot" should be told very very clearly by all dentists. Loosing it hinders healing and magnifies pain to the max. I was very unaware and no where did it say it on the pamphlet given. The heading on the pamphlet should have been " No blood clot, get ready to die" lol. Thank you so much for the video, some amazing dentists on TH-cam which you rarely get to meet in the outside world. All about the money.. not you though hehe. 🤍
its stuck in my socket.. it has alr been 10 days.. and theres no more pain. i tried flushing it out but its not working. what do i do? i feel like its delaying the healing process pls help :((
I would advise going back to your dentist or surgeon to see if they can help you out and take a look to make sure everything is ok. All the best!
Hi doc! I'm coming again after one year with my second bottom right extracted.
On my day 5, my dentist remove my suture. I was complaining feels a pus taste but he said no dry socket. Then, after removing the suture, my pain in jaw 8/10 and ear is 9/10. The pain didn't exist while the suture still intact. How can I do doc?
If your pain is that significant I would recommend getting in touch with your provider to see if they can help you out. All the best!
what happen if I place the alveogel and suture the socket?
That’s a great question! My I ask why you would want to suture the socket at that point? All the best!
To achieve primary closure.coz food fill inside the socket and the clot dislodge. If I'm not suture it,I'm afraid same things will happen again and again😅
@@foooiafung8767 When you place Alveogyl, you're inserting it into a dry socket and at that point, the clot has already been lost and there will not be a new one. Your healing is from new tissue growth that eventually covers over the bone so I would tend to avoid suturing in these instances. Thanks for watching and all the best!
Thanks for your kindly reply
Hi Doctor, please help me with some info. I have a dry socket, I have been at my dentist 2 times to put this stuff. I sm trying not to eat with the side where the socket is, Am I doing the right thing? What about if that stuff never comes out?
Always comes out Carolina. Just the way the body heals, so it will be all good. All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia thank you so much!
Hi Dr. Alveogyl was placed in a dry socket caused by the difficult removal of a wisdom tooth. The pain was severe for 4 days before treated with alveogyl. It's been 4 hrs since placement and the pain is yet to subside. Is this normal?
Generally if there is a dry socket this stuff does help and it works quite quickly. It only works for 1-2 days however, then may need to be changed out. All the best!
Hi! I'm ten days post-op for all four wisdom teeth. I had one tooth on the bottom that was impacted terribly and he had to break it in half to get it out. I went back today because of pain, turns out I had a dry socket on that side and he packed it. Didn't really give me the best aftercare instructions. Can I eat normally after a couple hours? How long does it take to fall out?
Riley - you can eat normally whenever you feel up to it. Be careful with that side and try not to have foods like rice or popcorn or small little things like that which can find their way into the socket and cause trouble later on. There is no good answer for how long that stuff stays in (depends on how tightly it's packed, shape of the socket, how you're cleaning, etc.), all I can tell you is that it will eventually come out so not to worry. All the best!
I had mine done this 3 days ago. The pain went away for 2 days but it’s starting to hurt again. With time, the brown stuff came off as I rinsed after food intake. Should I have this brown paste put on my mouth again? What is the healing process after the first application? Thanks a lot
Nishma - this is pretty common as it's designed to just get you more comfortable while the healing takes place. It actually acts a bit like a foreign body which in reality can slow healing a bit, but the trade-off is it's more comfortable. My usually comment to patients is if you can manage your discomfort with Advil / Tylenol and it's tolerable, you don't need more packing. If pain medications are not working, it's advisable to have it flushed and packed again. All the best!
@@OnlineExodontia thank you for the reply. Yes, the pain is tolerable but I am a bit concerned because the hole is big and everytime I eat, the food particles go there and sometimes even after couple of rinses I feel like it’s still there and am worried that with time if it causes some infection and do I need to visit dentist soon (it’s been 4 days after I saw the dentist).
@@nishmamaskey1093 Do your best to keep it clean. Often the dentist can provide a syringe to rinse with that will help keep it clean. All the best!
@@_rishabhdubey In my case, it took me 10-12 days to heal and another 10-12 days until I could eat normal food like chicken, rice and pastas.
@@nishmamaskey1093
Hello mam...how to keep the dry socket clean?Can you please provide some tips?
Hey doc! I just got my bottom right wisdom tooth extraction site treated for a dry socket. It was a complete extraction, it’s been 8 days since the removal. I am noticing more pain after they packed and sew my gums. Is that normal?
Hard to comment Harrison - if sutures were placed for some reason then yes certainly things would be a bit more tender around the area. I would reach out to your provider if you have concerns as they'll be more familiar with what they did for you. All the best!
After th paste comes out then what?
Then you'll either be good to go and everything will feel better, or you may have pain again and possibly could need another round of treatment. All the best!
thank you sooo much
My question is after being treated will it go away … I dont want just a temporary fix I need this pain gone🥺💀
If a person has dry socket, it will resolve on its own with or without treatment, so yes, in time the pain will subside. All the best!
Helpful 👍
can i put a zoe pack instead doctor?
Alveogyl is Superb , can't compare with only ZEO pack....
Septodent Alveogyl is little costlier than Prevest company....
I just got this as well and my dentist gave me absolutely no instructions other then to rinse.. I tried looking it up online but am getting no answers.. is it okay to smoke while this is placed in the socket?
It’s not desirable to smoke Destiny with or without the packing in place. Might be a good chance to quit? Thanks for checking out the video! All the best to you my friend!
Hey Destiny. It is better to not smoke while a socket is healing because smoking delays healing so avoiding it is better.
I literally just lost a tooth all the way to the gum no pain currently but I fear it’s coming
I guess just hope for the best! Thanks for watching!
This stuff taste like medicated beef jerky. So gross! After the pain of the surgeon compacting it into my socket from my wisdom tooth, it was all good . The pain went away within a little while.
My dentist packed my socket with alveogyl 5 days back (felt great for 3 days) and it still hasn't dissolved/been displaced. Now it's starting to hurt and since it's the weekend all I can do is lightly rinse my mouth with saltwater. Not sure what else I can do... Could it possibly cause an infection since it's a foreign body?
Allyson - there are times where this stuff hangs around too long and it becomes a source of irritation. I would visit your dentist to have them take a look and potentially clean it out for you. All the best!
Great video! Do you ever anesthetize the patient before packing the Alveogyl, or is that an unnecessary step?
I never do Colin. It's not super comfortable for them, but it only takes a couple seconds and most patients tolerate it just fine. The discomfort from the injection would likely be more than actually packing the site. If you were to anesthetize them, you could consider bupivicaine to have a longer lasting effect and perhaps provide a temporary relief for them. All the best!
It doesn't taste Nearly as bad as the death that was coming out of the hole in my mouth!
Agreed!
