Please explain the healing process!

I had #19 pulled 3 days ago. While it does not hurt..(really) it has white stuff that looks kinda like small dotted cheese. What is that? Also, the gum was white yesterday- and now it's pink.
Could you please just state the steps of the healing. What looks normal, what will happen tomorrow? ETC...

So that I can relax! This tooth has already caused me TOO much as it is!
Thanks!

If the pain has improved and there's no major swelling, it sounds to me like its healing well.  I wouldn't touch the socket too much beside gently rinsing it to keep it clean.  Otherwise, let mother nature take its course and it should heal up over the course of the next few weeks.
