You're still fine: No pain, no swelling, no discomfort... it appears you're healing just fine.

Follow directions: Anytime you have a tooth pulled, you're at risk for developing dry socket after 2-3 days. To prevent dry socket, follow the directions given by the dentist for post-procedure care in combination with your good oral hygiene routine. Good luck
