nlw,
It is not normal healing for any bone to be exposed after oral surgery. Please go see the oral surgeon who removed your teeth for a clinical and radiographic evaluation. Hopefully it is something simple to remedy. But don't put it off because pain (or no pain) is not always a reliable indicator of the severity of a dental problem.
Keep us posted..

I am not experiencing any pain. Should I be concerned at this point?
