Tooth extraction

[Gabss1918282]

I would like to know if my tooth is healing properly I’m scared I may have a dry socket

This is what my tooth extraction site look like

Looks fine

A dry socket is very painful. It would be getting more painful whereas normally it feels better after a few days.

Have you followed the after care instructions that your dentist gave you ? If you are worried you can phone the surgery for advice .

How long ago did you have it taken out? Dry socket is most common in the first week. Like a pp said it would be very painful if you have one which would get progressively worse.
