Talk:Alveolar osteitis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Did someone write in that stuff about Alvogyl as a promotion? It reads like marketing language.

[edit] Article name
To correspond with the standard of medical articles, we should move this article to the correct name of the disease, "alveolar osteitis." See The naming issue. - Dozenist talk 00:07, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

This site is very unhelpful, has terrible spelling and grammar and seems only to exist to place ads all over the page. Removed.
[edit] comparing pain to cavities?
When cavaties expose the nerve that goes to the tooth, there is usually a fair amount of pain. How does the pain of a "dry socket" compare to that? Based on reading the articles, it sounds like the source of the pain is different (dry sockets are painful because of an exposed portion of bone?) TerraFrost 00:03, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yes, It is PAINFUL
As a current sufferer of "dry sockets' I can confirm the fact that it is painful. Yes, the bone is still alive along with all its nerves. Bpaje 22:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
