Is this normal? (4 days after extraction)

[Yeahidkdudebro]

I had a first molar extraction last Saturday, and the dentist told me all the basic stuff to prevent dry socket, at first I had my gum hole filled with blood and then the clot formed but the last two days I've seen it get smaller and also the color changes.

I don't have pain except that I sometimes feel it throbbing (blood pressure changes maybe?)

It looks good. The color changes indicate reparative epithelial tissue forming. The only signs to watch is pain and swelling.

This is also 4 days extraction, does this all look ok? Really been worried about dry socket

With a dry socket, you will be very miserable. As long as the hole is covered and you have no swelling, you are fine.
