If you have no pain then don't worry it will heal. Wait for one more week. Just keep the area clean by doing warm saline rinses frequently and rinse it more thoroughly after every meal

Keep the area clean! Hole is ok, but blackish is NOT! It usually takes 6weeks to 6 month for hole to fill up.

Healing depends on how the extraction how complicated it was. No need to worry. You should do hot water gargles with salt to quicken the healing process and prevent infection in that area
