Did he even place dressing in the socket? I’m not saying that I don’t get fooled but it is usually fairly easy to tell true pain from people just wanting drugs. Given the duration I’d be a lot more inclined to think nerve damage v. dry socket. FWIIW we still write prescriptions for motrin. If they want anything over the 200mg OTC amount, e.g. 400,600,800mg. I just tell folks to take multiples of the OTC as in my earlier post here.
Thank you, I’m flattered, time would be as issue and there is a lot of dentisty that I wouldn’t be able to answer questions about. I do try to answer in all the dental threads if I think I can be of help.
