Clot loss: If it's been 6 days the chance of developing a dry socket is very slim. If you have pain, bleeding, foul taste, consult your Surgeon.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction (tooth #18). I am now about 75 hours post extraction. The white clot (or piece of it?) dislodged and I spit it out. I can't see in the mirror if there is other material left. No pain. Could I have dry socket sans pain?
I had a tooth extraction of a decayed molar 4 days ago. Is white yellowish color on top of the clot normal? Or should I fear dry socket.
How many days after wisdom tooth extraction is the blood clot NOT needed anymore and developing dry socket is a non issue.
