Is my extraction site healing properly?

Hi, a week ago today I had my bottom right wisdom tooth extracted (they had to cut into my gums, I don’t know if that’s always the case). This is the only tooth I’ve ever had pulled so I don’t know what it’s supposed to look like when healing. It’s not hurting very bad, it’s mostly just sore.. The stitches have already dissolved and the swelling is gone as far as I can tell. But I notice this little opening and I don’t know if that’s just the skin growing back together or if I have dry socket. Any advice or reassurance is greatly welcomed and appreciated.
