Dear Patient
Some pain is normal . But take all precautions that your Dentist advised. Visit for a follow up checkup at your Dentist. Indent could also be from the impression of your opposite jaw teeth , that is okay.
If something more is needed your Dentist will advise you first.

Hi,
What you are seeing is just the healing tooth socket which is perfectly normal.It will slowly get filled in with bone and heal.The dull pain will also wear off soon. Avoid vigirous brushing in the area. Rinse your mouth with warm water regularly.Relax.
