White spot on wisdom tooth area
Hello,
I have a white patch on the gum after the last tooth at left side. It was painless. But when I am pressing it with toung some salty test I am getting. So I pressed this area with finger and it became so pain ful.
On the right side opposite to that area I have a small tooth. But at the left side that white patch.
This is wisdom tooth coming out or gum deases on the left gum and why this is slaty.
Kindly help me out.
Thank you.

You may be getting the wisdom tooth on the left side. During eruption it may give symptoms of pain etc. X-ray is required to check its position. The gums there are inflamed causing a salty taste. Do hot water gargles and apply zingisol or stolin in that area, 2-3 times a day. If it does not resolve in a few days consult a dentist
