Asked By:Dinorex in Singapore, SG

I just removed my wisdom tooth 8 days ago through surgery. Today i notice a deep hole and some yellowish stuff inside. There is no pain unless i bite too hard. There is no pus coming out. And around the stitches have already healed completely. Do i have a dry socket?
