I had my rear molar pulled on wednesday and from what I can see (I'm quite obsessive about this) there is still a clot in but it appears to be shrinking deeper into my gum line and has a white film over most of it. I'm still a little achy but imtermittently and alot of that, I believe, may be the fact that I'm terrified of having a dry socket and focusing on it. I haven't taken any pain meds since yesterday morning other than a couple of motrin and it really isn't bad at all. Just curious if all this is normal? When can I stop worrying about dry socket issues. I've eaten next to nothing since the extraction. Finally managed a little soup and pudding last night but I don't want to disturb the clot. This lukewarm coffe really stinks! When can I have hot coffee again? Thanks
