White spot near wisdom tooth

2021-10-21 07:12:00
6 months ago my left lower side wisdom tooth started erupting and my dentist told me to wait it out I got it removed on Monday because he said it's been cutting into my cheek and there was a white dot kind of thing and now I am worried that what if it's mouth cancer although when today I looked at it has healed almost 50%

Don't worry. Erupting wisdom tooth can cause these problems. Attach a clear photograph of x ray if you have. Because if their is any hinderence in the erupting pathways then you should go for extraction. Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day. Consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello, it's going to reside by itself. It's just keratinization of the buccal mucosa due to long term friction by the wisdom tooth. Since the cause (wisdom tooth) has been removed, the mucosa will heal soon. Nothing to worry. It's just keratinization and no cancer/tumor. Take care Regards

You can do lukeworm water rinses 3-4 times in a day for 7-10 days. it's gonna heal little faster.
