I didn't have much swelling or bruising afterwards and have not smoked or used a straw, although I did eat "real food" after the 3rd day. I am still kind of sore, but I am okay after taking some Advil. However, I'm concerned because my mouth tastes/smells funny. I have been brushing my teeth very lightly because I'm afraid of hurting myself, but I read that a weird taste/smell could be a sign of dry socket. Ugh. Am I paranoid? Also, I used a straw briefly (3 seconds), a small one, before I remembered not to, and today I sucked some icing off my fingers, also before remembering not to. AGHHH!
So. Should I still be a little sore? Is the taste/smell thing a dry socket or do I just need to brush harder? :(
