What do they use for dry socket?!


Question: What do they use for dry socket!?
I had my wisdom teeth removed over a week ago, and I've developed a dry socket!. A dentist (not the one who preformed the surgery, and not a very good dentist) packed something into the wound that looked like chewing tobacco or soggy, shredded beef jerky!.
I was wondering what the substance is and what kind of side-effects it has!? Also, how does it help the healing process!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
