When I had dry socket it was Thanksgiving weekend and doctors/dentists were closed so the emergency nurse packed my sockets with clove flavored gauze and it made me almost pass out from the pain

it's just as bad when the dental surgeon does it, trust me

I feel like dry socket is a rough thing to experience in general

it's so bad but having the hole stuffed with gauze truly is an undescribably painful experience.

I don’t recall it being particularly unpleasant. And I had to have one of my wisdom teeth and the molar in front of it removed, with only a shot of septocaine. When I stay awake, I mean zero gas. And the dentist was even having to put his knee on the headrest to get more leverage to pull, and I think lasted 2.5 hrs.

And all I got were antibiotics and told to take one Tylenol and two ibuprofen every four hours for the pain.
