HELLO ! i posted a while ago about needing to get all my teeth removed cause there was really no saving them..

thursday (the 5th) i went in heavily sedated and got my whole top arch removed. (15 teeth.. )

today i was checking out my gums and noticed i have white spots...

is this normal!? is it not!? ..

does this mean i have an infection.. or is this a sign of healing .. every time i google this it gives me 3 options it could be , thrush, dry socket , or gums arent getting oxygen so are turning white ? ..

its not like it hurts.. i mean of course im in pain .. i just had 15 teeth removed and have stitches in my mouth .. but the white spots almost feel numb for the most part? well unless i press on them a little to hard then its like "OK .. YEP .. LETS NOT DO THAT " .. lol

if you can tell me what might be going on it would sooth my mind a lot :)

i put a picture of what my gums look like... i posted it at the bottom.... i hope its clear enough to see what im dealing with. :)
