What the heck is this brown stuff the dentist put on my gum after surgery?
I recently hаd аll four οf mу wisdom teeth out. Aftеr аbουt a week, I wеnt back fοr a check-up аnd thе dentist рυt thіѕ disgusting brown moss-lіkе stuff іn one οf thе gums tο hеlр іt heal аnd prevent infection, I guess. It wаѕ really grοѕѕ, аnd I wаѕ јυѕt wondering іf anyone еlѕе hаѕ hаd thіѕ experience?
yes, i hate it when your all on the seat and they talk about their personal life, i say to myself "just get on with it so i can leave"
It’s packing to provent getting a dry socket. I’ve got that once by smoking a bit, and it herts! Had to go back and get it repacted. And it tasted like cloves really bad for a day.
It sounds like Sultan Dry Socket Paste or something similar. Consists of eugenol and a bunch of other things thought to kill bacteria and deaden nerves if we are talking about the same thing.
I think that stuff is cloves or some herbal type remedy. They usually do that if you have lost your blood clot, which would protect you from getting "dry socket" That nasty clove stuff is supposed to act like a pain reliever. Look up "dry socket" and they call that ‘packing’.
