4 wisdom teeth removed 7 days ago am i clear of dry socket? i have no harsh pain just achy. dissolve stitches are also in still what should i do?

Should be OK: 7 days is past the risk window for a dry socket. Significant pain and a foul taste are indications of that post-extraction complication. Depending on the complexity of the extractions a little achiness a week out is probably normal. If it isn't resolving in a few days, get it looked at though.. Good Luck!
