Re worried about dry socket.

[Britt2107]

Hello. Sorry I am new to the forum. And I have no idea how to start a new thread. . I had 30 & 31 removed. They were lower back molars. I got stitches in my mouth. It was considered a surgical extraction. . They were pulled monday, it is Saturday now. My holes are almost closed. But I can still see that my blood clots seem to still be there. Can I still get dry socket?? When am I in the clear of getting dry socket??And I wanted to know if I could drink hot coffee yet??

You're just about past the danger period for a dry socket. I'd hold off on hot coffee until Monday just to be totally safe. If you're not having any pain at that point you should be totally in the clear to get back to normal.
