helloo......read through ur query...in my view i dont think the white spot is nothing to be concerned about...its just some reaction of the gum towards ur new powder.....or sometimes it can be some food debris...so nothing to be concerned....if after few days its increasing in size then u better stop using the powder and continue ur previous method....thats all...so hope u got the reply...have a healthy day!!
