Question If a dry socket is going to form, What is the amount of time it takes to form once a tooth is pulled?
Answer Dear deena,
When they develop, dry sockets usually first become manifest between three and ten days after the extraction, and usually last anywhere between five days and two weeks.
Hope this helps...
