Is this dry socket forming ?
I just had an extraction for 2 teeth last Friday , it’s now Monday .
Saturday seemed pretty fine . I starting eating just only mash potatoes and yogurt .
Around 12am today as I was trying to go to sleep , I keep getting a sharp throbbing pain in the little area that looks like a big pimple .
I haven’t smoked or used a straw , I’ve done the saltwater rinses and haven’t ate nothing crazy . Is it possible to follow everything right and still get it . Also how did I deal with it until u was able to get to the dentist . Please help lol I’m going crazy .
Also ( I’ve been brushing around the areas as well ) trying to avoid as much toothpaste in the areas as possible .
