Hi p_v13,
If it is plaque, he will instruct you on how to clean the area more thoroughly. If it is pus, then he will have to determine why it is infected and prescribe treatment and/or antibiotics accordingly.
Hopefully it is something that is easily remedied. I know this whole thing has been an ordeal for you especially since it was so unexpected! Try not to worry about it.... just keep the area very clean without over cleaning =)
Please let us know what he says on the 9th!

I have a 2 month check up with him Dec. 9. I will mention again that I still see the white stuff every now and then. I will also ask if it is plaque or pus. Hopefully he can give me an explaination as to why this is happening. I do not want to go through this ordeal again. I have never had any problems with my teeth before and this one threw me.
If it is plaque or pus, will he just give me more antibiotics and clean the area? Will that get rid of the white stuff? Again, I am not hurting but I do not want to wait til I get to that point and suffer major pains and problems.
Thanks again for your advice. I will let you know what he said.
