Is my tooth extraction site infected or is it healing normally?

[MarsUltor]

Hello got my tooth extracted on Thursday. I haven't eaten solid foods, I have been rinsing my mouth out but not swishing food around. The pain is kind of less but the same. My real worry is how it looks. The excavation hole is black and white. It doesn't feel extra sensitive anything I don't think I see puss.

Looks like a nice dark blood clot for this stage. Start eating normal foods as best you can.

Even if it looks black and white?? Sorry I'm kind of a worrier. Also I'm on day three, do you think it's safe to brush with toothpaste yet?

The "blackness" is a dark blot clot. The whiteness is damaged skin sloughing off (like a wet scab). Yes, you should be brushing pls.
