Hi tyler,
The white bump could be a few different things...... a piece of bone spur; a small ulceration which will go away on it's own or a fistula which is similar to a pimple that infection is draining through. I assume she has a post operative appointment with the dentist within the next week? If not, she should make one so he can evaluate the extraction site.
She should still be rinsing with warm salt water 3-4 times a day and continue to do that for another 2-3 weeks minimum. The rinsing helps to clear food debris from the site and the salt aids in the healing process.
Thanks for keeping us informed...... please continue to do so :-)
