A member asked:
Can you get a dry socket after 3 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Dry socket (alveolar osteitis) would be unusual if you had no pain after the extraction. If you had it it may last that long but this is not common. If you are having problems please see the surgeon who preformed the procedure.
