Is it normal for gums of extraction site to be black?

It is not uncommon for the gums at an extraction site to appear black or dark after a tooth is removed. This discoloration can be due to blood clot formation, tissue healing, or even the presence of necrotic tissue. However, if the black color persists or is accompanied by pain, swelling, or a foul odor, it is important to consult a dentist to rule out complications such as infection or dry socket.
