Dry Socket Pain

When a tooth is removed, the normal healing process involves a blood clot forming in the empty tooth socket. The clot protects the bone and nerve endings that have been exposed and aids in healing. A dry socket (known as alveolar osteitis), occurs when either the blood clot is dislodged or dissolves before the extraction site heals. Prevention is always the best medicine, and there are steps you and your dentist can take (before and after surgery) to help you avoid discomfort.

The Academy of General Dentistry warns that smoking and using tobacco products increases your risk of developing a dry socket, by decreasing the blood supply to the newly formed clot. Stop smoking prior to your surgery and don't smoke after your surgery. Inform your dentist about any of your medications that might interfere with normal blood clotting, whether over-the-counter, prescription or supplements.

Dry Socket Treatment

The patented StellaLife VEGA Oral Care Gel provides quick pain relief and has been found to speed up healing. Dentists have found it effective in the pain management of dry sockets and recovery following dental surgical & non-surgical procedures. The 14 active ingredients used in gel act as an analgesic (pain relief) and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is easy to use when following the instructions on the label.

Dry Socket Remedy

The sign that you may have a dry socket is an intense throbbing pain that may radiate to your temple, ear, eye area or neck. Managing a dry socket with over-the-counter medications won't give you the relief you need.

The primary treatment for a dry socket is pain management, so in addition to the StellaLife VEGA Oral Care Gel, your dentist may prescribe painkillers and send you home with directions on how to use ice packs. Ask your dentist about our all-natural gel for the dry socket.

Directions

Adults and children over the age of 6 years: Wash hands. Apply to upper and lower gums and surgical area using a cotton swab. Allow gel to dissolve. Do not eat or drink for 20 minutes after application. Apply 3 times per day or as directed by a dental professional. Consult yourdentalprofessional for use in children under 6 years of age.Learn more

"I never write reviews but for this product I had to! Just got my wisdom teeth removed and my bottem socket started to hurt really bad. Pain radiated up to my ear, I couldn’t sleep on that side and the socket was extremely swollen (I could feel it pulsing). The socket has been hurting for a week and hadn’t subsided. Desperate for relief after waking up at 3am in pain, I found this product and after only 1 full day of using it morning and night I feel barely any pain! Didn’t offer immediate relief like it did for some people but it did soothe my jaw the first time I applied it because of the minty feel. Also my sockets looked red and now they are a nice pink color like normal! I will continue to use it once the pain is fully gone to aid with healing. Wish my dentist would have told me about this product instead of just telling me to take Advil. If your getting your wisdom teeth removed this product is a MUST to help manage pain/ dry sockets."
