Exam required: you need to be examined by your treating doctor or an oral surgeon to determine weather tooth remains in the socket or bone chips and why no blood clots formed to start the healing process.

It is not normal: The symptoms of dry socket include pain, bad breath, foul taste and and no blood clot. When that's the case, see your dentist for dry socket dressing appointment.

See dentist.: Probably OK. Clots turn white after a while and complaint of "tooth fragment" is common. See dentist to make sure.
