What Is The White Colored Substance On Gums After Tooth Removal?

I had my tooth pulled on Monday 3/16. My blood clot and stitches were still in place but the hole is filling up with white stuff and the gums around the removal area are a white color and the hole looks to have gotten significantly smaller is this normal ?

HI
Well come to HCM
This could be normal if this does not cause any symptoms some time such appearance is happened and this would be fine just wait for sometime and be patience, watch for swelling and pain, if this happens then seed the dentist, else this is nothing to worry, take care.
