Hello, generally after extraction of the tooth some white deposits occur on the area as the patient is unable to clean that area, but if the tooth was pulled a long time ago, it is better for you to visit the dentist as it can be happened because of the opposing tooth. so it better to visit your doctor and get it examined.
