How many days after tooth extraction am I free of having a dry socket?

I had my molar, the one next to my wisdom tooth removed five days ago. It was extracted due to unsubsiding pain after I've had taken a lot of different medicines.Before the extraction they had my teeth x-rayed and saw that my wisdom tooth is soon to erupt from the gum but unfortunately it cannot because my molar is blocking it.It was an impacted wisdom tooth(but not in a very bad condition).Now,after my molar was extracted,the gum where my wisdom is,started to swell.I developed a clot but half of it now is gone because the gum was stretched when it swell.I am experiencing pain in the area but not much.It comes %26amp; goes just like lightning.Is it normal?Or i may develop dry socket?Please help.. this is really bothering me considering this is my first tooth extraction ever..Thanks a lot!

I am trying to digest this, you said that your second molar was extracted because of constant pain and also the wisdom tooth is impacted and is blocked by the 2nd molar?





It is possible that the pain came from the wisdom tooth not from the second molar (if it is healthy) anyways it is done.:(





If you are experiencing a dry socket you are in an excruciating pain right now. It could be a pericoronitis (infection around the impacted crown of your 3rd molar)





by 7th day the area is still painful, go see your dentist coz theoretically gum start healing by the seventh day.
