Hey everyone currently on day 3 post wisdom tooth removal still in pain and abit of discomfort but ibuprofen is managing it
I had dry socket last time I took a tooth out and now paranoid about it lol anyone can who's a dentist can say if these are dry socket

When I look in the mirror I don't see a red blood clot that everyone keeps talking about i'm not sure what to really look for but these pics don't even give it much justice bec it looks like there is but I don't see any when i'm looking in the mirror

Mine went yellowly and looked like it had a yellow clot in it. It hurt for about 2 weeks painfully and took about 3 to fully heal. It’s great now and healed fully. Was a massive hole at the back which took the side of the gum out too. Make sure you rinse 3 times a day with warm salt water, I found it really helped with the pain to do that. I also went back onto sensitive toothpaste which has made a good difference now too.
