Is It Normal For The Blood Clot To Come Out Of The Socket?

Hello

I had a wisdom tooth extracted last wednesday. Today 6 days later my blod clot has come out of the socket. Should I be worried about dry socket or is it normal for the clot to come out at this stage?
I have no pain it just feels slightly tender.
