Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blood tinged saliva can be because of the trauma to the socket region while brushing or from food particles. The bad breath can be because of the food accumulation of the food particles in the socket region. Nothing to be panic, you can gargle with saline or take mouth wash 3-4times daily.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
