Is something wrong?

I had 27 teeth pulled four days ago and a full set of dentures put in. My teeth were all badly infected at the time of extraction. Now I have this foul smell/taste in my mouth and when I remove my dentures for cleaning I noticed that there is a white substance in most of the extraction sites along with my stitches. I rinse my mouth with salt water and clean my dentures two or more times a  day. Is there something wrong? Or is the white substance and smell just part of the healing process?

yellow liquid from tissue is generally pus, if not from food or drink. Going back to your dentist to have a post-op exam is advised.

This morning when I woke up I noticed I also have a yellowish drainage. It's gone now but it was pooled in my mouth when I woke up. Does this mean infection?

White substances may be bacterial colonies , fungus, or relining material. Implementation of proper wound and denture cleaning is advised.
