Hi I've never even had a filling and then recently developed an absess, which was the most severe pain I've EVER experienced! Ended up having the tooth out on Christmas eve.
Problem is I'm VERY squeamish and it's only been a bit achy. However, today it suddenly feels like it's "shrunk" or I've lost something around the extraction site. Is that normal?

Any advice 🙏
 
After an extraction your gum gradually fills in the "hole". Sounds perfectly normal to me.
