Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have white stuff stuck in extraction socket , thereis nothing to worry much do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

Consult dentist for visual examination of socket and it not possible with you removal of stuck particle from socket.

Follow post operative instruction given by your dentist and proper course antibiotic course given by your dentist

Hope this will help you.
