Alvogyl is a dry socket treatment and post-extraction dressing which every dental office should have on hand! Alvogyl is a one-step, self-eliminating treatment which rapidly alleviates pain and provides a soothing effect throughout the healing process. Its fibrous consistency allows for easy filling of the socket and good adherence during the entire healing process. The active ingredients of Alvogyl include eugenol for analgesic action, butamben for anesthetic action, and iodoform for anti-microbial action.
