Serg,
The initial blood clot is red. After a few days the clot turns a white color... can resemble plaque. So make sure to irrigate gently. If you are careful with your eating all you really need to do is rinse with the salt water. As the days go on, you can get more aggressive with your rinsing.
The dry socket medication will break down over time. Do not be concerned about removing that. If you develop a bad medicinal taste or abnormally foul mouth odor, something other than what you have experienced so far, then have the surgeon evaluate the socket.
