I am 34. I had a cracked #4 molar removed 4 days ago.  The gum feels like it has recessed into almost a U shape and it feels tight.  I do not have any pain.  I can feel a few hard spots in between the gum with my teeth, but no pain and air sensitivity like the symptoms of drysocket.  Is this normal?
