Dentist who can tell me of this is normal? Today is Tuesday and had two teeth pulled out on Friday.

That looks infected to me. I'm assuming you ask about dry socket because you're in pain.
I had similar very recently and needed to go back to have the gum packed every day for 5 days. Poor you!! 2 teeth at once!!!

Ouch. I had this 10 days ago. Was the worst week of my life, no exaggeration here. Worse than child birth :-(
dry socket and infection. The nerve was exposed for 5 days. The packing kept disappearing. I just had to rest and ride it out. Took a good week.
get yourself to the dentist pronto x

Looks fine. No inflammation of the surrounding gum and no exposure of the bone so neither infected or a dry socket
