Any dentists on here??

I had my tooth out on Thursday, this is what it looks like today. I’m still in a lot of pain and discomfort. Does it look like I have dry socket.

sorry for the graphic photo!

Hmm I’m not a dentist and it’s been a long time since I had dry socket but I’d say that looks normal. When I had dry socket I KNEW I had dry socket. The pain is horrendous.

Actually I’ve just looked at pictures of dry socket and I’m not sure so ignore me!

Hmm. I think when I had my tooth pulled out it was feeling better every day. If it is feeling worse and painful it could well be dry socket. I would go back to the dentist.
