Hello,

Thanks for posting in healthcare magic.

Wisdom tooth extraction or third molar dis impaction surgeries as dentists call are usually traumatic leading to a common problem called 'dry socket'. The healing hence is usually very slow . I would advise you to give some it time for healing. If you still have any doubt, you can ask your dentist to get the region of extraction x rayed to check for any abnormalities.

Hope that answers your query.
