Hi Summerfun,
Stop using mint tootpaste and try an herbal one that has no mint. Also the herbal pastes usually have no sodium lauryl sulfate which is an irritant to the oral tissue.
If that is the only time that you have soreness at the extraction site then see what happens when you use a different toothpaste.
Is the extraction site almost closed over? Do you notice a sore like a canker sore near there? This type of sore, unrelated to the extracted tooth, could become more sore when in contact with mint.

It seems as though it is taking forever even though dentist said looks fine but didnt do an x-ray. Should they be doing x-rays as follow ups?
