I had my wisdom tooth removed three weeks ago today. I developed a dry socket after a couple of days and had it packed
twiceTwice-a-day by the dentist. After nearly two weeks the pain seemed to ease and the hole in my gum started to close up. However, it seems to have stopped healing - still a sizeable hole in my gum - and the pain is starting to come back. It is also very tender to touch just under my jaw where my glands are. Should my gum be healing better than it is and should I still be experiencing pain?
