Good day

If you are not in pain, the healing process is proceeding normally. Usually after an extraction, the socket is filled with a blood clot, which forms granulation tissue, which appears yellow and then gradually it becomes pink.
If you suddenly experience pain, it might be that the socket became infected i.e dry socket, and then you need to arrange for a follow-up visit with the dentist in order to clean it out.
