Blood clot: It sounds like a normal blood clot. Nothing to worry about.

Black dots: Sounds like normal healing, especially in the absence of fever, swelling that is not demising, bad taste, fetid breath. If you have any concerns, call your Oral Surgeon. You've already paid for any required post-operative care.
