Thanks Olympika & Tirednewdad - I took the last tablet at lunchtime. I'm not convinced it's completely better as it felt quite uncomfortable this morning but couldn't get an appt to have it checked until Tuesday. The stuff the dentist plugged the hole with is still in place - how long does it go on working for? Presumably it gets pushed out as it heals from underneath? Anyway at least I've got another appt if it still feels uncomfortable.

Yes it just dissolves/grows out as things heal

Alvogyl
is a dry socket treatment and post-extraction dressing which many dental surgeries have on hand! Alvogyl is a one-step, self-eliminating treatment which rapidly alleviates pain and provides a soothing effect throughout the healing process. Its fibrous consistency allow for easy filling of the socket and good adherence during the entire healing process.
