On Wednesday, I had my abscessed tooth extracted.
I have stuck to the soft foods diet, however I fear I have developed a dry socket.
When I observe the socket in the mirror, there is no signs of a blood clot - just a slight blackish/brownish bit with white there. I have had mild pain which ibuprofen or paracetamol seems to have an effect on.
I have had a rather unpleasant taste in my mouth too, even after brushing (I try my best to avoid the site).
Just for any info, here is what I have eaten and drunk in the past 48 - 60 or so hours:
Yoghurt
Soups (cool)
Mousse
Noodles (soft)
Mashed Potato with gravy (cool)
Water
Squash
Any other things involving my mouth include brushing, saline rinse and taking any pain relief.
