Effective home remedies to ease pain caused by dry socket

The symptoms of dry socket include bad breath, mild fever, throbbing pain in the jaw, eyes, and ears, visible bone in the socket and an awful taste in the mouth. Dry socket is usually very painful and these home remedies can help ease the pain and relieve you from discomfort. Read on to know more:

Salt water

The application of warm salt water can aid in reducing bacteria, pain and swelling. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water will remove all the food particles from the socket and lower the risk of infection. Add ½ teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and stir it. Swish it around in your mouth for a minute. Do it thrice a day after meals.

What are the causes of dry socket?

Dry socket, medically referred to as alveolar osteitis, is a condition that can occur after a tooth extraction. The primary cause of dry socket is the premature dislodgement or dissolution of the blood clot that forms in the empty socket after the tooth is removed. This blood clot serves as a protective layer, promoting healing and providing a barrier against bacteria and debris. If the clot is disrupted or fails to form properly, the underlying socket becomes exposed, leaving it vulnerable to infection, inflammation, and severe pain. Certain factors, such as smoking, poor oral hygiene, traumatic extractions, and certain medications, can increase the risk of developing dry socket.

Chamomile tea

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of chamomile promote faster healing and can help soothe swelling and pain caused by dry socket. In a bowl of boiling water, place a chamomile tea bag for 5 minutes. Squeeze the tea bag and apply to the affected area for 15 minutes. You can also drink n sh uth rice a chamomile tea.
