I recently had a dental extraction, I had failed root canal and finally the tooth snapped so my dentist decided the best option was an extraction. It kept bleeding for a while afterwards but felt fine the following day it was slightly stingy, I continued salt water rinsing it and also eating soft food however now 2 days later it doesnf look very happy...people are telling me contrasting opinions however as I am pregnant I don't want to risk the pain...does this look normal or infected. Apart from stinging it's not sore..I just dread it getting sore...

It looks like this today...pretty empty but still not much pain. I'm doing salt water mouthwashes after every meal and still on mostly soft foods
