When does the dry socket paking come out?

Dry socket: Depending on the packing material used the time frame will vary. Most non resorbable material will migrate out in 7 to 10 day after surgery. Resorbable material are not removed.

On its own...: The socket heals from bottom up so the packing will fall out on its own.
