A member asked:
Dry socket doesn't seem to be healing, need help please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Takes: Time and repeated visits to the dentist to have the medicated gauze changed. In my experience it can take as long as three weeks before tissue fills in and covers the bone. See your surgeon.
