Worried extractions aren’t healing

Sorry for the pic I had a couple of extractions on Monday but does this look like it’s healing. It looks grey and I don’t know if it’s supposed to look like that.

Your pics haven’t been approved yet so I can’t see however when I had an extraction I worried about the same thing. Apparently the grey stuff is granulation tissue and it’s a normal part of healing and the body forming new tissue. Google it and see if it looks the same.
The most important thing is if the pain/swelling is subsiding. If so you’re probably doing ok.

There was a bit of white granulation tissue the other day but it’s disappeared now it looks grey in the extraction sites.

Looks fine as far as I can tell the picture isn’t exactly clear

Can’t really see the pic but had an extraction recently and it was also grey for a couple of days
