Symptoms and signs of dry socket include severe pain following tooth extraction, gray-colored tissue around the site of extraction, or lack of a blood clot at the site of extraction. Dry socket symptoms generally occur within a few days of tooth extraction and are usually limited to the oral cavity. Oral symptoms of dry socket may come and go or may be continuous. These symptoms include: Bad breath or foul odor in the mouth. Bleeding from the site of extraction. Bone visible inside the site of extraction. Dental abscess. Gray or dead-looking tissue surrounding the extraction site. Pain at the extraction site.
Dry socket generally lasts anywhere between a week and several weeks. However, once you have received treatment for the condition, you should start feeling relief in a few hours. You may have no pain at all while your dry socket heals. Dry socket that does not heal in a few weeks may indicate other medical issues.
