I had my bottom 2 wisdom teeth removed last thursday on october 22nd about 6 days ago & i was wondering when am i out of the clear for a dry socket?

2 weeks or...: I would say allow 2 weeks or...14 days. And if you've been good about keeping the extractions sites clean you're probably in the clear. But, if you do have some problems or questions...then call whomever took them out. That's what you've paid them for. Peace of mind is very valuable.
