What else can I help you with?
I have dry socket and the dentist just packed it and if does feel better. What happens to that gauze . I am afraid to eat because the gauze may fall out.Does it just fall out after a few hours?
The gauze is medicated with a simple form of local anesthetic. It is packed into the socket and it will not likely come out. After a day or two it will need to be removed. If the socket is still painful, the dentist may repack it with fresh medicated gauze. It too will have to be removed after a few days. Eventually, the socket will calm down, and the gauze will not have to be replaced.

What is iodoform used for in dentistry?
Iodoform is mostly used as an antiseptic and for wound debridement. The wound is packed with Iodorform gauze. As the gauze dries, it adheres to dead tissues. When packing is removed, the gauze pulls the dead tissue away, leaving healthy tissue. Since new tissue growth occurs first inside the wound, from the middle to outer edges, the Iodoform gauze helps keep the wound clean as layer after layer of new tissue forms.

How to remove gauze stuck to open wound that been soaked in saline for an hour and still won't come off?
Wow! Soaking a wound in saline (preferably sterile saline) for one hour should be sufficient to remove the gauze attached to the wound. If, after soaking this length or time, and the gauze is still adhered, then be very careful. If this is still an open wound, then pulling the gauze off forcefully could restart bleeding or pull away healing tissue. Slowly pull the very outer edges of the gauze while continuing to allow the wound to soak in the saline would be the best thing to do next. If you are still not successful in removing the gauze you may want to seek assistance at your health care provider's office. How long has the gauze been on the wound? If gauze has been on an open would for even 36 - 48 hours, the skin of the healing wound may actually have begun growing into the gauze. You definitely need to have you doctor remove the gauze and assess the wound.
Is cotton gauze warm in winter?
The Cotton gauze I have seen is usually for warmer weather. Those who have worn even "winter" cotton gauze have said it is NOT very warm. All of the cotton gauze that I have seen is only suited for summer wear, unless you are wintering in the Southern Hemisphere or the south when it's having a warm spell. The word gauze automatically makes me think of cotton bandages, which are basically made of thin, see-through fabric and not intended to keep the body warm unless multiple layers are used. I'd check reviews of it on Amazon.com or other clothing sites.
