Pain ?: Swelling ? Any symptoms ? If you're feeling fine then your wound(s) are most likely healing just fine. Dry socket complications are not that common, so don't loose any sleep. See your dentist if you are concerned.

Rare: Dry sockets are less common on the upper jaw. Usually a dry socket will see decreasing pain following the extraction for 2-3 days and then the pain intensifies. May have a foul taste and increased pain when lying down. See the dentist who did the extractions to treat the dry socket if that is the case.

It is possible: Pain, swelling or discomfort after 3-4 days could indicate a problem (e.g. dry socket). If you fear that something is not right then call your dentist for post-op evaluation.

Call the dentist who extracted: You should call the dentist who extracted your teeth You want to have a good blood clot in the socket so that would be normal Dry sockets usually occur when you don't get a good blood clot and is usually in mandibular teeth rather than the upper teeth and more frequent in smokers
