White coating on tongue after dental extraction?

Hey guys. I had a couple of teeth removed around a week ago now. I had a minor infection in one and decided to go back to the dentist to get it checked out. After having the socket irrigated and packed, I noticed that the upper side of my tongue was white. I've been racking my brains over what it could be. Any ideas?

There's no pain (besides a little from my infected socket) and I have been washing my mouth out often with saline solution (salt water).

Cheers,

CW
