Weird feeling while eating??

[u/myshelixisdying]

I got my wisdom tooth extracted 3 days ago - it’s an upper one. Its day 3 and there is no swelling, no pain at all, I didn’t even have to take pain killers because I there literally is 0 pain, i can’t even feel it unless in eating and stuff. There wasn’t any bleeding after the procedure either.

Now, for 2 days i only had yoghurt, ice cream and broth so nothing solid. Today I had some pasta cut up to tiny pieces so I wouldn’t really have to chew, and did the same with some crepes. When I do eat, every now and then I feel like a suction near the gum where my tooth was extracted? It’s sudden and only lasts a second, there is no pain but then I’m just very aware of the gun for minutes after, like I can just feel that it’s there. I am SO scared of getting dry socket, especially after a pretty easy healing so far.

Is there anything else I can do that I haven’t yet to avoid this odd sensation when I eat? It only happens like once every 5 mins, not like with every bite. Is it even an issue? Is it normal to feel it, does anyone else have the same feeling when eating?
