    i suspect they meant to take it easy with the brushing near the extraction sites. if the white colour is everywhere around your mouth it's just a buildup of plaque ( soft white sticky stuff). just give the gums and teeth a good brushing 2 or 3 times a day and you will be back to normal very soon. just be gentle with the back of the mouth where it is probably still tender.

    if the white colour is only at the back , that's ok.
