Neither can we: Without looking in your mouth, it is impossible for us to know if all is stable too. Call your dental surgeon, and they will know more what you are talking about, and an exam may be needed to assure all is good. Best wishes.

Dry Socket Paste: If you are not in any substantial pain whether or not there is something in the socket is good. If you are in pain, you need to speak to your surgeon for advice. These packings often come out by themselves. If not, they need to be removed. Your surgeon should have given you a followup appointment. If not, call and make one.
