Hi guys!
Had my bottom molar out 6 days ago.
First few days went fine blood clot ect then went yellow.
Not it’s changed to a black/brown colour.
The walls of my socket are white or bone.
I have an ulcer either side of the extraction site and my tooth behind it’s gum has completely split.
Please tell me it’s not dry socket??
Thank you

Dry sockets happen 3-4 days post-op, and are characterised by foul taste and breath, and enormous pain. You are in the clear.
