I had a tooth extracted #31, bone grafting on 29, 30 and 31. 29 and 30 were extracted 20 years ago after a severe accident.

I ended up with an infection and dry socket in that area. I was getting a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm still on antibiotics...today is the last day. I'm still having pain in that area. The pain has been getting better until today, it's been more sore and painful. The extraction was quite difficult. Is this normal 18 days after the fact? I saw the Dr. yesterday and told him things were getting better (they were). He said there was no dry socket, the extraction sight is starting to close which he's right it is. What else could be causing this discomfort? My Dr. did say he had a patient with a similar procedure and she did have pain for about 3 weeks which is what he told me to expect originally.
