Do i have a dry socket

I had my wisdom teeth removed friday april 27th. it is now sunday may 6th. so about a week and a half since the procedure. i have not experieced any severe pain or anything unusual until today. I noticed my breath tasted unusually bad and i though i could feel something stuck right where i used to have a wisdom tooth. i looked in my mouth and noticed something white and sorta soggy. possibly a piece of bread from my tuna sandwuch i had earlier in the day. i gently brushed my teeth and it was still there and since it had been a week since the procedure i felt comfortable enough to try to rinse it out with water. i swished some warm water around and ended up spitting out a white meaty chunk of something. i have no idea what it was, almost like chicken. but not there is a hole in my gums and i think i can see bone at the bottom of it. the other side does not look like this at all. i have rad about dry sockets and this seems to be what i have, but i have absolutely zero pain. can anyone help me??

Going back to your dentist to have a follow up exam is advised.
