Hi, I called the Dentist this morning but it is her day off. The
receptionist explained my problem to another dentist there and called
me back.

I missed the call so she left a message saying that the Dry-Socket
dressing would dissolve on its own.

Did they say what was used ?
Surgicel ? Gelfoam ?
These resorb.


I am pain-free now but how long should it be until the whole dressing
is gone, its now 48-hours.


Again, depends on exactly what was used as a 'dressing'.
Much longer than 48 hrs if gelfoam or surgicel.
