Don't be terrified: If you don't have severe pain or swelling, you should be just fine.

Dry socket #13: If there is no pain after 3 days, there is no dry socket. If you have questions about any dental procedure, call your dentist and ask. They will be happy to answer any questions or concerns.

Dry socket?: I can't see your extraction site either. As long as the post-surgical pain is abating, and there's no bad smell or taste, you should be OK. If you're still worried, call your surgeon for a post-surgical reevaluation. You already paid him/her for your treatment, go back to make sure everything's healing well.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction (tooth #18). I am now about 75 hours post extraction. The white clot (or piece of it?) dislodged and I spit it out. I can't see in the mirror if there is other material left. No pain. Could I have dry socket sans pain?
