Izmon,

How many times did the OS pack the dry socket? The usual protocol of treating a dry socket is to debride the surgical site and get a good blood flow going, then pack it. A day or two later, remove the pack and place a new pack. Sometimes this needs to be done 3 or 4 times depending on the individual case.

Are the wounds still open or has gum tissue closed them over completely?
