How long does it take for dry socket to heal?

A very long time: Dry socket occurs when the blood clot that should be protecting to extraction site comes loose. This is very painful and does not heal readily by itself. See your dentist to have the extraction site cleaned and to stimulate a new clot and it will heal very quickly.

dry socket: Once the dry socket paste/medication is placed relief should be usually within 24 hours. It may take the site a few weeks to heal but the pain should be gone quickly....If treated correctly.
