What Causes White Bumps On Gum After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

Hello, Around one year ago I had my wisdom teeth removed. According to my dentist who I last met two months ago I am told that I have no difficulties with them. However, recently I ve become worried as, upon closer inspection, I ve round one large white bump where the wisdom tooth was and several smaller bumps on the other side, both from bottom teeth. My question is should I be worried about this, even though my dentist had said there s no difficulties.

heloo......That is absolutely normal. Sounds like you're healing great. Your gums turn white when they are healing. As long as you are not in pain, I wouldn't even call the dentist. Finish your antibiotics and next week by this time, your gums should look almost normal.
