Dr. Arnold Malerman answered

Healing: For most people extraction ion sites are no longer symptomatic after 3 months, but for a very few others healing can take longer. Please return to the General Dentist or specialist Oral Surgeon that did your extraction to have the extraction site re-examined. Hopefully all that you will need is tincture of time.
