Can you tell me exactly when is the period one gets dry socket?

3-4 days: Dry socket ususally occurs 3- 4 days after an extraction. It happens because the healing blod clot is lost and the bone is exposed. It is very painful and. You need to, see the dentist or oral surgeon that did the extraction for treatment.

The first five days: after extraction are the most critical for a blood clot, and it is during this time that the risk for a dry socket is the highest. The good news, with proper care and rest, the dry socket should heal in 7 - 10 days.
