Hi Doctors, My left side wisdom tooth is growing and there is a white colour above that tooth and on the end of the cheek near to the tooth. Been to a dentist and he told me that there is nothing to worry ( no signs of lekoplakia or erthoplakia) and it's happening bcos of wisdom tooth growth and tooth needs to be removed and it will be resolved. I'm planning to get that removed in December month Now but worried bcos of that white  color on cheek ( have attached & Marked the image  FYR) Please let me know if there is any problem in the image

If it s exactly at the pressure point of wisdom tooth, you may observe it after removing the tooth. Else better to get it biopsied.
Next Steps
I can definitely see a whitish patch there. would like to examine you. Do you consume tobacco?
Health Tips
Tobacco is closely related to leuco and erythroplakia. Good luck.
