Dry socket?

This is an image of tooth #19 on my lower left side. It is 46 hours since the extraction. I am not in severe pain but I'm noticing that when air hits it I get a sharp pain which is new. Is this normal healing for this stage or should I see my dentist?

It doesn't look like a dry socket. Tooth #19 usually can be traumatic to remove so you may need more recovery efforts. The mouth has a good potential to heal. If by rare chance you notice swelling around the tooth or under your jaw, do see your dentist.
