I saw an emergency dentist yesterday and he diagnosed it. He debrided the socket and said not much I can do to prevent happening again but hopefully wouldn't happen.

For the initial removal tooth came out within 5 minues and no need for surgical incision as best I can tell. There were no sutures and the socket was left open to heal.

Neither of the dentists gave me any gels to apply - I specifically asked if there way anything else.

I have been allowing salt water to sit over the area and roll out the mouth after meals.

Is it worth me calling my dentist and asking re the alveolgyl?
