Dry socket is when the blood clot that happens over the extracted tooth dislodges, leaving the bone beneath exposed.
Food, and bacteria get onto the bone causing it to become inflamed.
It is an extremely painful condition. Can heal naturally , but takes a long time, and the pain will go on for awhile. Usually you should go to dentist and have them place special packing into the extracted site. May take several trips, so they can replace packing material, and clean out area each time.
Very painful condition that takes a while to heal.
Pain control meds are a must.
Most people that get this, are in excruciating pain. You said your pain was not very bad, so hopefully you don't have this.
Go back to dentist and they can tell you immediately if you do or not.
