Normal: Totally normal & all part of the healing process. Just keep it clean with a warm salt water rinse (hopefully they gave you a simple syringe to help with that)). Continue on anti inflammatory meds if needed & you should be just fine. If issues arise just call the dentist who did the surgery for help.

Wisdom teeth: You will not see a blood clot after a few days. Continue to follow your post op instructions for the best healing. If you are not experiencing swelling or severe pain your are healing normally and this should continue..

Visit your dentist: A dislodged blood clot that occurs after a tooth extraction can sometimes lead to dry socket. See your dentist for post-op eval.

Neither: Neither good nor bad. You can't see inside the socket. Let pain be your guide. If it starts hurting MORE, likely a dry socket. If so, easy to treat. Then see oral surgeon.
