I went to the dentist today with a abscess where I had my tooth removed. The dentist put what I presume was an antibiotic paste in to the hole in the gum and asked me to go back in week once it had settled down.
Does anyone know what this paste is called ? (It was very thick,almost crumbly , dark brown and tasted horrible)

I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.

Alvogel.
Tastes bad - works well!How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
The most common brand name used in the UK is Alvogel. It is eugenol impregnated fibres - it usually works wonders on a dry socket.
All I want is an opportunity to prove that money doesn't buy happiness 0
