Is the pain as intense as when the dry socket was first diagnosed? Are you doing all your proper home care as directed by your dentist such as oral hygiene, no smoking or drinking alcohol, etc?
Also, you may want to return to your dentist and consider inducing some bleeding into the socket again to form a blood clot to cover the exposed bone.
