The photo you posted, when were those teeth removed and is this the only area of recently extracted teeth?
In some patients, the gum area of tooth extractions can take months to heal completely. In all patients, the jaw bone takes about a year to fully fill in.
If you are a slow healer then there are contributing factors. Could be poor diet, lifestyle habits, medications prescribed or OTC, smoking and/or alcohol consumption, poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease, dental cavities or other dental problems ... autoimmune issues.
Do any of those things apply to you?

In a few days I have a new appointment, and I'm a little scared because I don't see my gums getting any better than they are at this point.
I have a very cracked wisdom teeth waiting for extraction (and other teeth waiting for more dental work). Could these pending infections/problems be interfering in the healing process of other sites of the mouth? |
