▲ 2 r/wisdomteeth
is this dry socket or am i just overreacting??
Need some help. 5 days ago I had surgery to remove my lower left wisdom tooth.
The first few days the pain felt pretty normal. By day 3 I barely had any pain at all, but now on day 5 I've started having a little more pain than I think is normal. It's not really in the socket itself, but in the tooth in front of where the stitches are.
Sometimes I get kind of a weird bitter taste, but that's been happening since day 2. I'm kinda worried. Can someone tell me if I'm screwed or if this is just part of the healing process?
P.S. Sorry about the pictures, they're kinda gross.
