When do you usually get dry socket after having your wisdom teeth extracted?!


Question: When do you usually get dry socket after having your wisdom teeth extracted?
I got my wisdom teeth out 4 days ago. Today, blood came out as I was rinsing. Then I found a blood clot on the side of my molar. A few hours later as I was eating, the blood clot came out. Do you think I'm gonna get a dry socket now?
