It’s normal healing process. Maintain good oral hygiene. Done let food get stuck in that region. Gargle thrice daily with lukewarm saline water. It will take around 2-3 weeks for the gums to heal.

The attached image is suggestive of normal healing process. Nothing looks concerning. A normal extraction socket take 3-4 weeks to completely heal and be covered with gums.
Next Steps
If pain persists even after another week, visit back your dentist for review.
