Anonymous asked: I have a dry socket on the lower left back tooth from an extraction. The packing has come out and I have severe pain today is Saturday and my dentist isn't there will clove oil remedy work and what are the ingredients for it. Thank you in horrible pain.

Clove oil does work for dry socket.  Dentists usually use a something called sultan’s dry socket paste.  I would not recommend placing it in the area at home.  If you just had a tooth removed the dentist should be able to place the paste for you so that you are not irritating the area and causing more of problem.
