I had my two upper wisdom teeth pulled 2 days ago and i just felt like a pop on the one. does that mean i lost the blood clot and will have dry socket?

Sutures: That could be the sutures popped out while chewing , make sure that the socket is clean form food particles etc. Call your dentist if you have any pain or the socket stay opened for more than a week..

Dry socket: A common sign of a dry socket is when you breath in with your mouth open you feel the cold air and a deep pain in the extraction site. Could it have been your jaw that popped? The TMJ joint often makes a popping or clicking sound when you open real wide, especialy after having your mouth cranked open for a long surgery such as extractions. If any pain or concern see the dr. Who did the extract.
