Hi dannyj,
It looks normal for 3 days post op. Not all dry sockets show visible signs as the problem lies within the bone itself.
If you had pain but it is subsiding it is not a dry socket. If your pain is increasing rather than improving, or you suddenly develop pain, then see your dentist as that is a typical symptom of a dry socket.
