A member asked:
Would it be possible to develop dry sockets 3 1/2 weeks after tooth extraction?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No.: By the three and a half week mark, you should be almost completely healed. Go have things checked if you're having unusual pain.

No: I have personally never seen a dry socket that developed later than 1 week following an extraction.
