Asked By:Paige415 in Boynton Beach, FL

it’s been 5 days I’m so scared of a dry socket. Does it look normal?I don’t smoke haven’t drank any carbonated drinks or alcoholic. It does hurt a little not bad. The stiches seem to be coming out. The string is now going over the top of the wound. I can taste it with the side of my tongue taste like a cut in my mouth it did not have that taste before but the stiches weren’t up before either. There is now a few little areas near the socket that are pink like fresh flesh. Is this normal?
