Still pain from dry socket one month later is this normal?

Not abnormal: It may take a period of 4-8 weeks, and the pain is persistent for the entire period of healing. If concerned, see your oral surgeon/dentist to rule out any other oral pathology. Take care.

Dry socket: The intense pain from your dry socket should be gone by now. It is normal to,have some mild discomfort that is decreasing as you heal. If you have intense pain, swelling, or concerns about your healing then call the extracting dentist about this.
